If there is a drink typical of the region, then it is the Sidre, a northern Spanish version of cider. The drink is deeply rooted in the culture. Particularly striking is the special way to pour this drink, without this ritual will taste no Sidre. In doing so, the gourmand holds the Sidre bottle with one arm as high as possible and tries to pour Sidre into the cup, which is kept as low as possible in the other hand. Often also experienced people need several attempts and so you can see and smell Sidrepfützen everywhere. Finer restaurants have extra dispensers to protect guests from splashes. There are also regional trucking competitions where the art of pouring is contested on a large stage.

The most traditional and largest beach in Gijón, a classic destination for bathers in all seasons. Presided over by the image of the church of San Pedro, it is one of the most represented images of the city. In the shape of a shell, its walk of almost three kilometers is frequented at any time. It is considered one of the best urban beaches in the world to practice or start surfing.

A modern and unique "monument." Cider is a very indigenous product, and this is a way to honor it.
