Description

Get ready to discover the most authentic Gijón on this half-day excursion! After picking you up at the meeting point in Oviedo, we will head to Gijón, a fascinating city that combines history, culture, and beautiful coastal landscapes. In Gijón, we will take a guided walking tour to explore its most authentic corners, starting at Plaza del Parchís, surrounded by residential buildings and green areas, known for being a gathering spot for locals. From there, we will head to the impressive San Lorenzo Beach and see how it merges with the Cantabrian Sea. We will enjoy a pleasant stroll along the famous Muro de Gijón, a wide avenue that connects both ends of the city and holds many interesting facts we’ll share with you. Next, we will delve into the charming Cimadevilla neighborhood, a place that exudes the true essence of Gijón. Here, maritime vibes blend with Roman remnants, creating a unique atmosphere on the city’s oldest streets. In Cimadevilla, we will take a short break for a drink before continuing our walk to the pier, where we’ll stop to admire the nautical surroundings and the majestic Revillagigedo Palace. This stunning 18th-century palace has a secret: although its two towers appear identical, one is 300 years older than the other. Right across from it, you’ll be surprised by a statue of a knight with a cross. Did you know this represents Don Pelayo, the first Asturian king and a beloved hero in Gijón? We will conclude our tour in the elegant Plaza Mayor, the perfect place to reflect on the wonders we’ve discovered in these two hours full of history and charm. Once the visit is over, you’ll have free time to enjoy Gijón at your own pace. On our return journey, we’ll take a panoramic route with a brief stop to visit the Laboral City of Culture, one of the city's most iconic landmarks.
