ABOUT GIJÓN
Located in a privileged natural setting, with an impressive bay, it is a city that faces the sea and has an incredible past, dating back to pre-Roman times.
Very lively, especially in spring and summer, Gijón/Xixón has magnificent beaches as well as seaside promenades and beautiful residential areas. One of its major current cultural references is the Laboral Cité de la Culture.
It is an ideal place to practice all kinds of water sports and it is a reference in the world of regattas in the area of the Atlantic arc.
Its origin dates back to one of the most important castros of European antiquity, Noega, which later became a strategic point of the Roman Empire. From the 18th century, it was a driving force of thought and significant industrialization on the European continent.
