In 2015 we want to continue showing you our favorite places! This January we move north to bring you one of the most beautiful cities in our country. They say it has one of the nicest beaches and one of the best neighborhoods to enjoy cider. Do you know which city we are referring to? You were right: we are going to spend one day in Gij\u00f3n.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We have been lucky enough to be not once, but twice in this city. Of course, it is not enjoyed the same in summer as in winter, but there are always some essential and perfect places to visit in a single day, whether it is cold, hot, rain or shine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We begin the visit on the Gij\u00f3n promenade, at the closest point to the cathedral. Right here is the Tourist Office<\/strong> So you can take advantage of everything first of all to collect information of interest and not miss any of the events that take place throughout the year in the Asturian city. In fact, here you have an agenda with the cultural events in Gij\u00f3n, to plan your getaway!<\/p>\n\n\n\n As I have told you, our visit begins on the seafront promenade of the San Lorenzo Beach.<\/strong> On this map of the city you can see the path we will follow during the morning so as not to miss any details. Walk with the sea on your right until you come across the St. Peter's Church<\/strong>. From a distance you can admire its temple and impressive fortification that presides over the coast. Before arriving at the church you can make a stop at the Roman Baths of Campo Vald\u00e9s<\/strong>, whenever you find them open.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Surround the church and always continue in the direction Cimavilla.<\/strong> You will have it easy because it is all straight uphill. On the way you may come across some brave local taking a dip in the icy waters of the Cantabrian Sea. Continue along the Camino de la Fontina \u2013 La Salle until you reach Cimavilla. There stop, breathe and catch some air to enjoy the views. You will see how the ocean prostrates itself at your feet along with a city that now seems smaller from a distance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You will stumble across an icon of culture: \u201cIn Praise of the Horizon\u201d by Eduardo Chillida<\/strong> <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n Take a walk through Cimavilla where attention! Here a photograph is mandatory, you will have to put your most original pose and don't forget to send it to us! If you look a little you will realize that you are stepping into living history because the park where you are now taking a walk, the Santa Catalina Hill Park,<\/strong> Years ago it was a civil war bunker. Now it is perfect to hide from the world or escape with a book in your hands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Leave the park through the Skate area from where you will see the Gij\u00f3n Marina<\/strong>. That's where we're headed. We invite you to make a contradiction since to get to the port you must go down the street called \u201cSubida al Cerro\u201d. You will find on the right hand side the sculpture by Vaquero Turcios, \u201cEl Nordeste\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
