Famous Landmarks
San Lorenzo Beach
43.5453°N, 5.6619°W
San Lorenzo Beach, 1.5 kilometres long in the heart of Gijón, is one of Spain's most emblematic urban beaches. Its golden sand — traditionally divided into zones named by letters from A to T — and its Paseo del Muro, built in 1907, form the seaside lungs of the Asturians.
Cerro Santa Catalina
43.5453°N, 5.6619°W
Cerro Santa Catalina, at the tip of the Cimadevilla peninsula, has hosted Eduardo Chillida's monumental sculpture Elogio del Horizonte since 1990 — 10 metres high, 500 tonnes of concrete. The roar of the wind through its arches has become one of Gijón's symbols.
Cimadevilla
43.5453°N, 5.6619°W
Cimadevilla is Gijón's historic district, a former fishing village perched on a rocky peninsula. Its cobbled lanes, traditional sidrerías and Roman remains — including the 1st-century Campo Valdés baths — reveal 2,000 years of Asturian maritime history.
Why gift a star map of Gijón?
Gifting a star map of Gijón means bringing home an Asturian night between mountain and sea, where the Cantabrian washes over San Lorenzo Beach. Under the rugged horizon of Spain's Green North, every star above Gijón tells of Celtic resilience, golden cider and the raw beauty of Asturian cliffs.
The sky of Gijón
At 43.55° north latitude on the Cantabrian coast, Gijón benefits from the preserved Asturian skies — one of Spain's least light-polluted regions. The Picos de Europa Starlight Reserve, about an hour's drive away, and the peaks of the Cantabrian Mountains offer Bortle 2-3 nights ideal for astronomical observation.
