Que faire à Gijón

Gijón Essentials

Gijón’s identity is shaped by its Roman foundations, maritime trade, and industrial scale. This selection includes the Universidad Laboral, Spain's largest building by floor area, and the Roman Villa of Veranes. The city's coastline is anchored by the 1.5-kilometer San Lorenzo beach and the Campa de Torres archaeological site. Cultural heritage is preserved through the Asturias Railway Museum and the open-air Pueblu d'Asturies, while the local cider culture is represented by traditional sidrerías near the waterfront.
