Gijon, is the largest city in Astaurias – an autonomous community in Spain. It’s on the Bay of Biscay and has had human here since around 5000BC. The first settlement was in around 5th and 6th century and was quickly Romanised.
In the 15th and 16th centuries, Gijón became a fishing and commerce area. It then grew into an industrial area until the GFC in 1970-80 and then developed into more of a tourist area.
I had a wonder around day. I did walk down to the “Old Fishing Village” – but it was torn down 50 years ago and is now full of modern building.
That’s a big tide!
I wandered around town.
Bottle tree.
Now that’s a sea wall.
Around the ship.
Tomorrow – Bilboa, Spain
