Xixón Monumental – Una Laboral AlternativaEach route we start seeks to know a little more about everything we find in our daily space, in the city where we live, work, visit or walk. And all through the small history of each building. We will review some particularities of the architectural styles (classicism, eclecticism, modernism, regionalism, art deco, rationalism, autarchy, modern movement and developmentalism) and also the social, economic and cultural conditions that were occurring at each moment of development and growth of Gijón. Of its urban advances and setbacks, of the processes that led to the growth of the city and, especially, of all this that has given rise to the singular and unique geography of the urban and rural landscape of Gijón. We will explore Gijón at street level.

Departure from Casa de las Maquetas (entrance of the RTPA facilities, in Laboral Ciudad de la Cultura), at 5.30 pm.

No previous registration is required.

This route includes sections with stairs and is not accessible for people with reduced mobility.

This activity is part of Urban Routes, exploring Xixón and its buildings, a project devised and led by geographer David Alonso.
