Plaza Mayor of Gijón

Highlight • Historical Site

A historic square that dates back to the 19th century and is the heart of the old town of Gijón. It is a popular place with tourists and locals alike. In the center of the square is the statue of King Pelayo, who is believed to have led the resistance against the Muslim invasion in the 8th century. Around the square are several historic buildings, including the Clock Tower, the Revillagigedo Palace, and the San Pedro church. In the square there are also many bars, cafes and restaurants where you can enjoy Asturian gastronomy, including the local cider.

Plaza de Marqués de San Esteban

Highlight • Settlement

The Plaza del Marqués de San Esteban is a crossroads within the city itself. Nestled at the base of the old neighborhood of Cimavilla, it is a crossing point between the Poniente and San Lorenzo beaches. From here you can access the port of Gijón and the main square, with its many cider houses. In the same square you can breathe the antiquity of the Cimavilla fishermen's quarter and the Revillagigedo palace and the modernity of the marina.

Luanco

Highlight • Beach

A fishing village with a secluded port and beautiful beaches. It is worth strolling through the old town, with its Clock Tower. Luanco also has a wonderful promenade where at the end of La Marina beach you will find the church of Santa María.

Candás

Highlight • Settlement

A seafaring town that even in the middle of the Middle Ages had a lot of marine and commercial life. Its most important festival is the Sardine Festival, where the whole town dresses up as sailors. And you can't miss the Bagpipe Bands festival, in the month of July.
