History and what to see
You leave Villaviciosa among apple orchards and climb through meadow hills until the sea appears again above Gijón. The city greets you through Cimadevilla, its old fishing quarter, with the Roman baths of Campo Valdés. On the Santa Catalina hill, Chillida’s Elogio del Horizonte has faced the Bay of Biscay since 1990.
