Each route we start seeks to learn a little more about everything we find in our daily space, in the city in which we live, work, visit or stroll through. 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 conditioning factors that were taking place at each moment of the 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 Florencio Rodríguez Square, start of Los Moros Street, at 17 h.

No prior registration required.

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