Información de la ciudad

Full of life and light, reflecting the temperament of Biscay, Asturias, in the so-called Costa Verde, Gijón proclaimed from the rooftops welcome the traveler who comes to town. Cozy and beautiful, messy and neat, this city has the special charm of the most incredulous pledge. Most skeptics only have to try.
On the shores of the Cantabrian Sea, Gijón shows an attractive combination of seafaring flavor, monuments and modern at the edge of the beach town planning. Its marina tells a story strongly linked to the sea.

Important buildings are rooted in the past of the city as a Roman settlement, in its development from the sixteenth century when the Catholic Monarchs decided to install a port here and the impetus given to the land during the Enlightenment, mainly thanks to Gaspar Melchor de Jovellanos.
