Top Gijon Sightseeing Tours

Take a tour to explore two picturesque, Asturian fishing villages on this tour that begins in Gijon. Begin in Luarca, the "white village of the green coast," where history and fishing life come together. Continue to Cudillero, a historic artistic complex, known for its colorful houses clinging to the mountainside. Indulge in the gastronomy of Asturias at a local restaurant (own expense) and experience a fishing auction on this private excursion.

During this walking tour we will discover the main historical spaces of the center of Gijón, following the evolution of the city from its origins to the present. We will start next to the Revillagigedo Palace to enter Cimadevilla, the old fishing quarter, where we will evoke the Roman Gijón at the foot of the wall, the medieval Gijón in front of the Casa Natal de Jovellanos and the daily life of the city in places like the Plaza del Lavaderu. After leaving Cimadevilla we will talk about the fishing tradition in the Transit of the Whales and, if time permits, we will climb to the Praise of the Horizon, the monumental sculpture of Eduardo Chillida located on the hill of Santa Catalina. We will then descend to the beach area, passing by the Roman Baths of Campo Valdes, to finish in Plaza Mayor, where the guide will recommend some streets and neighborhoods ideal to enjoy tapas, cider and local gastronomy.

Explore the rich history of Gijón and the charming fishing village of Villaviciosa on this private tour. Wander through the old fisherman's neighborhood, Barrio de Cimadevilla, discovering Roman settlements and the Revillagigedo palace. See landmarks like the Statue of Pelayo and Plazuela del Marques and opt for a gastronomic experience at a cider mill (own expense).
