Gijon (Pass By)

Just some steps away is Valdes Palace. The 17th-century Baroque palace, an official Historical Monument, sets itself apart from elegant buildings of its kind with two sober square crenelated towers, but what’s most interesting is the intensive archaeological Roman site below the palace, which is well worth a separate trip to discover the hidden world to the fullest.

Plaza Mayor

Proceed to admire the splendid showcase of neoclassical architecture in the Main Square, whose highlight is the majestic 19th-century Town Hall, adding a touch of grandeur to the elegant space. You will also find yourself lingering here for a wide range of activities: from lovely cafés and cider houses nestling under historic porticoes to traditional dance performances and craft markets on the second weekend of every month.

Palacio de Revillagigedo

After leaving the square through the northwest exit, your eyes will be captivated at once by the Baroque gem of Revillagigedo Palace, Old Town’s most emblematic historic building. The 18th-century palace is an architectural feast in its own right and owes its special charms to the location in front of the extravagant cruise dock, the symbolic Cider Tree, and the magnificent Fountain and Statue of Pelayo, which offers the best backgrounds in the Old Town for souvenir photos.

Parque Santa Catalina

Finally, leave all the hustle and bustle behind and go uphill to Santa Catalina Park on top of a headland sticking out above the sea. The breezy open space boasting velvety lawns, the Gijion’s emblematic sculpture Elogio del Horizonte, and weathered fortifications from the 18th century is a great spot for rewinding after a long walk while savoring refreshing seascapes and enchanting cityscapes in all directions.
