Gijón, the pearl of Asturias in Spain, is a melting pot of history and art. Strolling through its streets, one breathes in the charm of a glorious past that blends with the contemporary cultural effervescence. The artistic hub of the city is the Centro de Cultura Antiguo Instituto, once a school, now transformed into a lively exhibition space that hosts modern and contemporary art exhibitions.
No less fascinating is the Evaristo Valle Museum, dedicated to the eponymous Spanish painter, where one can admire works ranging from impressionism to surrealism. Gijón also boasts the Museo del Ferrocarril de Asturias, which, in addition to recounting the railway history, stands as a monument to engineering and industrial design.
Art also manifests itself outdoors: the sculpture "Elogio del Horizonte" by Eduardo Chillida, located on Cerro de Santa Catalina, is not just an icon of the city, but a true symbol of the harmony between art and nature.
Gijón seduces visitors with its vibrant cultural scene, its historical monuments, and its unparalleled artistic offerings. Every corner of the city is an invitation to discover beauty, making Gijón an unmissable destination for lovers of art and culture.
