It's a perfect option if it's your first time in Gijón or if you want to get to know it in depth. To start with, we can meet at the door of the Town Hall or at your hotel, if it is located in the city centre.

We will see the Plaza Mayor, the Campo Valdés and the exterior of the church of San Pedro. As we walk, you will see a multitude of contrasts between the modern and the old, which will give you clues about the history of the city.

We will walk through the traditional neighbourhood of Cimadevilla, see the remains of the city walls and pass essential monuments such as the birthplace of Jovellanos.

In a leisurely stroll, we will go up leaving the Fontica or Arturo Arias square behind, until we reach Santa Catalina hill and the Elogio del Horizonte,

Walking along the slopes and narrow streets where historically all the work related to the sea was done, we will be able to get to know the purest essence of Gijón: the seafaring.

In the Plaza del Marqués, between bars and restaurants, you can discover some vestiges of Roman times. You will find the statue of Don Pelayo, the Palace of Revillagigedo -a jewel of the Asturian Baroque style- or the Cider Tree.

We will finish this tour in the area of the Marina, where we will see the Jardines de la Reina (Queen's Gardens) and the photogenic latrons of Gijón.
