Gijon Marina
** Gijón ** is much more than Gijón itself, than the monumentality of the coexistence between nature and heritage and the attractiveness of its beach and port. Is about a very lively city that in the last months of the year multiplies its celebrations, festivals and activities as if it wanted to avoid, in this way, the lethargy of the cold. A series of initiatives with which it manages to position itself as one of the cultural and gastronomic capitals of the country since they are not artificial efforts to bring what is not there, but simply to satisfy the curiosity of their neighbors and visitors. Hence, many of these events are more than ten years old, a longevity that shows that here the arts and the kitchen like , fit together and have a fundamental gap.
To all this we must add the deployment of cultural infrastructures in the city . Spaces such as the Jovellanos theater rise as one of the stages where more and better programming is carried out in all of Spain and its billboard is a magnet for visitors from all over the world. In addition, the parallel creative universe of Laboral helps by welcoming any interesting initiative. Other key spaces to understand why it is a stimulating metropolis are the Old Institute Culture Center , the El Huerto Scenic Space or the Gijón Sur Integrated Municipal Center . A whole arsenal that in autumn touches the full capacity thanks to the trail of festivals.
The gastronomy It is the other great axis around which the main events in the city are structured between now and the end of the year. This city already has the habit of attracting tourists with themed routes such as the cider route, which runs through the main cider presses, cider houses and even confectioneries in which this product is the king or with Gijón Goloso, a bonus to taste the best sweets that are made here. In addition, with Gijón Gourmet you can enjoy a very careful avant-garde menu with which it is shown that their stoves are restless minds. With these foundations, the diverse autumn gastronomic proposals are one more push with fairs, forums (such as Chocoarte, from November 11 to 13) and popular contests.
And all this takes shape in these seven essential proposals.
