About About the place

Barrio de Cimadevilla is the oldest district of Gijón, Spain, situated between the harbor and Playa de San Lorenzo. This historic quarter is characterized by its labyrinthine network of narrow streets, traditional Asturian architecture, and a vibrant atmosphere. Visitors can explore a diverse range of bars and restaurants, discover local shops, and enjoy stunning views of the sea and coastline. The area also features notable landmarks like the imposing statue of Pelagius and the iconic big cider bottle sculpture. While retaining its historic charm, Cimadevilla also reflects the economic realities of recent years with some closed storefronts.
