Free tour between the sea and memory: this is the heart of Gijón

We will begin our walk in the Plaza del Marqués, where the port and the stories of the sea are intertwined with the figure of Jovellanos, one of the great names of Gijón.

From there, we'll visit the Jovellanos Palace and the Plaza de la Tabacalera, a place of industrial bustle and a symbol of women's work in the city. We'll discuss the importance of tobacco, life in the factories, and the role of women in the neighborhood and in fishing.

We will continue towards the Chapel of Solitude, a place of devotion and neighborhood meeting, and then climb to the Hill of Santa Catalina, a space full of history, art and legends.

There we will discover how ancient Celtic traditions intertwined with the Christian beliefs that shaped the spirit of Gijón.

We will finish at the Church of San Pedro, facing the Cantabrian Sea, evoking the fish auction, the days at sea and the deep relationship of the neighborhood with the ocean.

More than a tour of monuments, this tour is an invitation to discover the soul of Cimavilla: its people, its customs and its unique way of experiencing Gijón.
