In Gijón’s old quarter, grand palaces cast long shadows and the echo of hidden plots lingers in cobbled squares. Beneath ornate balconies and centuries-old facades lies a city of secrets waiting to be uncovered.

This self-guided audio tour unlocks downtown Gijón, guiding you beyond postcard views and into stories most travelers never hear.

Who defied royal authority within the imposing walls of Palacio de Revillagigedo? Which priceless relic vanished mysteriously from the Jovellanos Museum overnight? And what unusual ritual still takes place at dusk in San Miguel Square, unnoticed by hurried passersby?

Walk winding lanes where rebellions were hatched and stroll vibrant plazas haunted by scandals, visionaries and unsolved riddles. Every step uncovers fresh intrigue. The heart of Gijón is about to reveal itself in ways you’ll never forget.

Dare to listen closely. Your journey through Gijón’s hidden chapters starts now.
