Don't miss one of Gijón's most impressive monumental complexes: the Universidad Laboral, a city in itself that will leave you speechless.

It was built between 1946 and 1956, conceived as an orphanage for children of miners who died in accidents. Once construction had begun, it changed its focus to that of a vocational training school for about 1,000 students, thus becoming a Labor University.

It is the largest civil building in Spain. Its dimensions are imposing. The architect behind this magnificent project was Luis Moya, who based it on the classical architecture of Greece and Rome.

The tour will begin outside the main gate, our meeting point.

We'll enter the Corinthian courtyard, notable for its Corinthian-style colonnade. We'll then move on to the plaza, the heart of the complex, inspired by St. Mark's Square in Venice. The main buildings: the theater, church, and tower are located around it.

" They say the cuélebre has the scales of a fish, that it lives in the river where no one sees it. The last time they saw it, it was in the village, disguised as a bagpiper..."

You'll be surprised to learn how the Town Hall Square was a site of executions in the not-so-distant past, or how the Clock Tower was the city's former jail...

We'll travel back to the late 15th century, a time of superstitions and legends that permeated everyday life, where the strigias took center stage. Who are these characters? Myth or reality ? Come closer, traveler, and we'll tell you more...

In a maritime town like this, there's no shortage of haunting stories related to the sea and the creatures that inhabit its depths. Next to the breakwater, we'll witness one of the most famous trials among sailors.

Spain is different... but Gijón more so.
In Gijón everything is big (Molinón, mareona, acerona...) or small (rinconin,,,) we baptize everything even if... it already has a name (las chaponas, la lloca, el parchis...), we dress up monuments like Pelayo, we laugh at ourselves or we are cool asses or flat asses, we even had a flat Chinese guy who drank panther's milk and even... a hangman!!!!!!
You can discover all this and more on this visit to the fishing village of Gijón.

Gijón is stories , stories of the people who made it grow, from Jovellanos (who became Minister of Justice under Charles II) to the cigarette makers in the Plaza del Lavaderu,

We will stroll through its seaside district, the cradle of the city with streets that still retain the popular air, or we will leisurely contemplate the corners of the district with its palaces or popular squares where we can stop to have a cider, a popular and native drink.

During the 2 and a half hours that we will be together you will discover that Gijón or Xixon is full of charming corners.

Taking Campo Valdés as a starting point, next to the Church of San Pedro (on the beach), we propose a quiet walk through the historic centre of the Cimadevilla neighbourhood, the origin of the city and the birthplace of Jovellanos, visiting the Plaza del Lavaderu , or Plaza de la Soledad , a walk along the port where we will talk about the stories of the fishmongers who went up the Cuesta´l Cholo to sell their wares at the cry of "there are sardines" ... and if you still feel like it, we will give you advice on how to take a short walk through the streets of the most commercial centre and contemplate 19th and early 20th century Gijón with its modernist and Art Deco architecture.

In short, everything that has given it its current character.
