by Jansa This picture was made inside Laboral University. Now this tower is a viewmirror and the other building is a church. For more than 20 years, because of political reason, they have not been cared or repared. I hope that it won´t be for a long time... Leave a Comment

 Elogio al Horizonte by Jansa If you go straight on from Cimadevilla´s streets, you´ll reach the top of Santa Catalina´s mountain, where you can see beautiful Gijón´s views and the whole sea in front of you. It´s really worthy. There, you can see also the important monument called "Elogio al Horizonte" (something like "Praise to the Horizon"), or "La Taza de King Kong" ("King Kong´s WC") for the people, because of its form and size. At the beginning, when it was installed there, people didn´t like it, but now is one of the most important symbols in the city. Its author is Eduardo Chillida. Leave a Comment

by Jansa This beautiful building is near the Cabue?es Hospital (the local Hospital), and it?s not in the center of the city. That s why many people miss this nice place. It has a beautiful church inside a big square, which walls are another building (an University). It s really worthy. For going there you just have to take bus n.1 or 18. Leave a Comment

 Cimadevilla´s houses by Jansa Cimadevilla is one of the nicest parts of Gijón. This is the old town, where the fisherman used to live. It´s full of small houses, painted with brilliant colours, and it´s full of "sidrerías" (cider bars) and night clubs. Leave a Comment

by Andares Andrin. Small village 2 miles east of Llanes. We booked a 'casa rural' (rural house) there. Very cheap: 10,000 pesetas per night, 6 people (that is around $10 each, a night) in 2000. This village is very small, authentic, and beautiful. If you want more noise, you can always drive to Llanes and jump in more fashionable bars & shops. The picture was taken at the incredibly beautiful beach of Andrin, 10-minute walk away from the village. It probably gets more crowded in the summer, even though waves are quite strong there.
