🏆 Free Tour of Gijón's Historic Center 🌟

Gijón, also known as the capital of the Costa Verde, is the maritime capital of Asturias and one of the most interesting coastal cities in Spain. Discover its Celtic origins, its most iconic buildings, and its pleasant seafront promenade with this guided tour of Gijón.

We'll meet at the chosen time in one of Gijón's most iconic locations: the Marina. With the harbor's sailboats as a backdrop, we'll retrace the history of this city of Celtic origin, which passed through Roman and Christian hands without relinquishing its freedom.

Strolling along the dock, we'll arrive at Revillagigedo Palace, the first stop on this free tour of Gijón. This majestic 18th-century palace has a unique feature: although its two towers look like twins, one of them is 300 years older. In front of it, we'll find a statue of a knight carrying a cross. Can you guess who it is? It's Don Pelayo, the first Asturian king and a beloved figure among Asturians.

The tour of Gijón will continue in the fishing district of Cimadevilla, a place that embodies the purest essence of Gijón. We'll experience how the neighborhood's maritime atmosphere blends with the Roman remains of its streets, the oldest in the city.

From Cimadevilla, we'll continue our walk toward the coast. We'll admire how San Lorenzo Beach merges with the sea as we stroll along the famous Muro de Gijón, a wide avenue that runs parallel to the Cantabrian Sea and connects the two ends of the city center. We'll also take the opportunity to share some interesting facts about this legendary street.

The final stop on the free tour will be the elegant Plaza Mayor, the perfect setting to say goodbye after two hours of exploring Gijón's main attractions.
