#Gigon #asturias

Gijón é a maior cidade das Asturias. Fica situada no Golfo de Biscaia a cerca de 20Km da capital das Astúrias, Oviedo. Uma das escalas de um cruzeiro entre Lisboa e Oslo era a cidade de Gijón. Tive assim a oportunidade de conhecer a pé grande parte desta cidade de pouco mais de 250 mil habitantes. Concentrei a minha caminhada pela área do Cerro Santa Catalina e todo o seu entorno. Uma bela surpresa.

Gijón is the largest city in Asturias. It is located in the Bay of Biscay, about 20km from the Asturian capital of Oviedo. One of the stopovers of a cruise between Lisbon and Oslo was the city of Gijón. I had the opportunity to visit a large part of this city with a little more than 250 thousand inhabitants. I concentrated my walk in the Cerro Santa Catalina area and all its surroundings. A beautiful surprise.
