Gijon (Oviedo), Asturias, Spain
Gijon began as a fishing village nearly 3,000 years ago. The historic fishing village known as Cimadevilla is located on a peninsula that divides the port in half. The village is the main tourist attraction of the city. Most of the streets are narrow and cobblestoned. Many of the buildings have been renovated to display the colorful life of the village.
Nearby Oviedo is the capital city of the Principality of Asturias in northern Spain. It is said that two monks, Maximo and Fromestanus, founded the city in 761.
Oviedo was featured prominently in Woody Allen's movie Vicky Cristina Barcelona.
