Originally a translator by trade, my passion for history and culture made me decide to widen my skills and become a tour guide. I am passionate about Asturias, about its history, people and traditions and I now want to show people from around the world my little piece of the “natural paradise” that is Asturias.

I am a local tourist guide and illustrator of travel guides in watercolors along with explanations about the place drawn. I love teaching the history and stories of cities and reflecting the most beautiful corners in watercolors. I started in this many years ago as a volunteer teaching the city to different choral groups that came to the city to sing and I ended up singing myself and training in the tourism field.

I am Julián Gabriel, writer and authorized tour guide since 2016 license number: 99AF03003, author of travel guides. If you want to travel to Gijón, I offer myself as a companion guide and show you the attractions and cider houses of this beautiful city. As you know, Asturias is the only province in the world where cider is poured, so with me you will discover what it is, how it is poured and where you can drink Asturian cider. In addition to all this, I will help you explore Gijón to discover its tourist attractions.
