Why you should choose Gijón as a destination?

It is a municipality that combines excellent natural and environmental conditions, both in terms of activities related to the sea and the mid-mountains. It also has an essential economic dynamism that is increasingly oriented towards innovation and the intensive use of knowledge and technology. The population of Gijón is open, multicultural, and outgoing. It is the most populated city in Asturias and the safest in Spain, according to the Spanish Ministry of the Interior. This makes Gijón an ideal place to enjoy an exceptional quality of life, including environmental, economic, social, cultural, sporting, and festive activities.

The Romans fell in love with Gijón/Xixón. They had splendid views of the sea and right on the shores of the Cantabrian Sea, in Campo Valdés, they located their baths. They met aborigines who had perfect knowledge of the metals and technology of that time. Furthermore, they were in a land of promise, which had a privileged coastline with great sandy beaches such as San Lorenzo, and gentle mountains and valleys. With time, Gijón/Xixón, the capital, became a great city, easily visible from the Cerro de Santa Catalina, where the Basque sculptor Eduardo Chillida was inspired to place his Eulogy of the Horizon, today a tourist symbol of the city.

Cimavilla – the old and charismatic fishermen’s neighbourhood -, the Reina gardens, the marina, Poniente beach, Arbeyal beach , Corrida street, Moros street, Plaza del Instituto and a long etcetera constitute an urban Gijón/Xixón that enjoys a privileged rural environment with places such as El Parque Arqueológico-Natural de la Campa Torres, Veranes, La Guía, Somió, La Providencia, Caldones, Deva or La Camocha, to name but a few. In terms of facilities, the Botanical Garden, the Aquarium, the Thalasso seawater spa (unique in Asturias), the Laboral City of Culture or Laboral Art Centre are also essential references for leisure and culture. A council and a city in perfect harmony.
