< Section > < h3 > About Gijón < / h3 > < p > Maritime capital of Asturias, famous for its urban beach of San Lorenzo, the historic neighborhood of Cimavilla and its cider cuisine. < / p > < / Section > < Section > < h3 > What to See < / h3 > < p > Gijón is the great maritime capital of Asturias, an open town to the Cantabric Sea that combines its marine and industrial tradition with a vibrant cultural and gastronomic life. The iconic fishing neighborhood of Cimavilla, crowned at Cerro de Santa Catalina by the sculpture Elogio of the Horizonte of Eduardo Chillida, marks the soul of the villa next to the extensive and busy beach of San Lorenzo. With its extensive range of cider and museums, such as that of the Labour Cultural City and its aquarium, Gijón forms an outstanding base of operations in the peninsular north. From its beaches, the journey to the Asturian east invites us to contemplate the strength of the Cantabric at the Arenillas Bufones, to ascend to the Alpine peaks of the Picos de Europa, to visit the lakes of Covadonga, or to cross to the neighboring province to fascinate them with the paleolithic bison of the Cueva de Altamira. < / p > < / Section >
