Walking the quiet shopping streets,  visiting the Marina and old town,  out to the bastion of Santa Catalina,  our visit to Gijon is leisurely today.   We have no travel or sightseeing agenda, and the sun is shining!   

The 1990 Elogio del Horizonte (‘In Praise of the Horizon’) is a bold, sea-facing concrete sculpture by Basque artist Eduardo Chillida that has become a symbol of the city.

On this side of the city is a church six stands where the very first chuck in the city once stood.   The Playa de San Lorenzo is the large crescent beach , beautiful views of the surroundings, and at the point,  the Bastian of Santa Catalina where the elogia stands

We walked to see the city parks and the Playa de San Lorenzo,  the beach boardwalk.  What great living spaces here!
