(Subject to Option Inclusions)Itinerary
Start the tour at the Staircase, descending to the golden San Lorenzo beach. Standing in front of blooming flower beds and overlooking the beautiful sea, the Gijón flag on the top of the stairs beckons visitors to join locals at their favorite meeting place for relaxing and people-watching. From there, you can also take postcard pictures of the quaint-looking Saint Peter Parish sticking out to a bay nearby.
Parroquia San Pedro
Then, marvel at the photogenic church you have just seen in all its beauty. Built in the same style as its 15th-century predecessor, the 20th-century Saint Peter Parish makes an exceptionally enchanting sight with a breathtaking backdrop and a tranquil ambiance for you to savor the sound, smell, and views of the sea.

Just some steps away is Valdes Palace. The 17th-century Baroque palace, an official Historical Monument, sets itself apart from elegant buildings of its kind with two sober square crenelated towers, but what’s most interesting is the intensive archaeological Roman site below the palace, which is well worth a separate trip to discover the hidden world to the fullest.
