• The tour commences next to the iconic "Letronas" in Gijón, a popular photographic site in the city. Situated by the marina, these large, colorful letters provide a fitting introduction to the city, overlooking the Cantabrian Sea, the port, and the historic Cimavilla district. • Revillagigedo Palace, a key Baroque structure in Asturias, stands at the entrance of the Cimavilla area beside the San Juan Bautista church. Built in the 18th century by the Ramirez de Jove family, the visit covers the palace's historical significance and its role as a cultural center today. • The Cimadevilla district is Gijón's oldest area, located on a peninsula between the marina and San Lorenzo beach. It retains the irregular layout reminiscent of its medieval and maritime past. While walking its streets, visitors can observe old fishing houses, small squares, and viewpoints illustrating the city’s historical connection to the sea. • Known as “Chaponas,” a series of metal plates laid out on the ground portray significant scenes and events from Gijón's history, encompassing crucial moments from Roman times through to the 19th and 20th centuries' industrial development. • At this stage, the remnants of the Roman and medieval wall that safeguarded the ancient settlement of Gigia are described. Although only fragments remain, they highlight the strategic significance of the site and its development from Roman times into the Middle Ages. • The tour progresses to the Roman Baths of Campo Valdes, a major archaeological site in the city. Uncovered in the 20th century, these public baths date back to the 1st–2nd centuries AD and provide insight into daily life in ancient Roman Gigia. The visit explores various rooms within the thermal complex and their societal functions in Roman times. • Located in the heart of Cimavilla is the Casa Natal of Gaspar Melchor de Jovellanos, a prominent figure of the Spanish Enlightenment. This 16th-century building now serves as a museum dedicated to his life and intellectual contributions, illustrating Jovellanos's impact on Asturian culture and history. • Plaza Mayor serves as the historical and administrative center of Gijón. Enclosed by archways and dominated by City Hall, it has long functioned as the city’s primary gathering place, witnessing many significant moments in urban history. • The tour concludes at Plaza del Lavaderu, considered one of the most genuine spots in Cimavilla. Formerly the site of public utilities for local residents, it retains the traditional charm of this historic area, offering a glimpse into the daily life of the old fishing community.
