GIJÓN SPAIN - The biggest city and capital of ASTURIAS, Spain's northern green paradise along the Cantabrian Sea (Atlantic Ocean). I bring you on a walking tour of this beautiful city and explain some of the history and show you the cultural roots of the Asturian Culture and lifestyle. Hopefully this video helps you decide if you should visit the city next time you come to Spain!

Adventure Elliot is a bilingual travel vlogger (English and Spanish) with a particular interest in the Spanish speaking world. I enjoy taking adventures - big or small - and my goal is to show the Spanish speaking world 1 video at a time.
The goal of my channel is simple yet complex: I want to document and share authentic & educational content of anything related to Adventure Travel, Geography, & Language in the Spanish-speaking world. It's kind of a loaded topic, but it allows me to never exhaust my creative outlets. The truth is, I've always been extremely passionate about what I'm doing on my channel, but I never properly documented it when I started adventuring as a younger man in my college years. I've made over 150 CZcams videos in both English and Spanish, and I have aspirations to make 1000s more. If that sounds interesting to you, join the community and follow me along the way.. After all, we're just getting started.

@Mongoose 1980 your welcome. Lots of videos on my channel from Spain haha
Never thought about this city!! Now I have to put it on the list traveling Spain ✈🌎🇪🇸
Sure! You're very welcome here! September is the BEST time, though July and August are the months of all festivities
Buena elección,mi Gijón del alma es única
PUXA ASTURIES y PUXA Gijón 🇪🇦
My father Alfredo Rubiera was born and raised in Gijon, fought in the Spanish Civil war. I lost my grand parents, my uncles and aunts and many others on both my Father and Mother side in that forgotten war. My mother, Maria Vidal, was born and raised in Barcelona. Never been to Spain as l was born in New York City. Though l was born in America, Spain runs through my veins.
Thank You for sharing a part of my Heritage
Wow what a story! This would be an interesting topic for a video as the war affected millions and it still present .. but obviously a sensitive topic.
Los mejores helados en Gijón son Verdu, Islandia, la Ibense y los dos hermanos.
Que buenas juergas tengo vivido por Gijón hace algunos años, que buenos tiempos aquellos antes de la pandemia pero volveré y aunque ya no sea igual voy a pasármelo pipa porque adoro esa ciudad y su gente enrollada.
Saludos desde mi XIXON del alma
Que belleza España de mi corazón ❤, Gijón de mis sueños, Asturias te llevo en mi alma, pronto podré estar nuevamente en Gijón por unos días 💕💕💕💕❣❣❣🌹🌹🌹
Gijón es la ciudad mas contaminada de España y Europa, es una vergüenza, Gijón es tercermundista y están envenenando a su ciudadanía, arcelor y aboño a diario prácticamente nos envenenan, el ayuntamiento y principado son cómplices, no hacen nada. En otro país ya llevarían rato presos, la mierda huele, se ve en las ventanas y calles, benceno cancerígeno y muchos componentes mas, es muy grave la situación. La ciudadanía y los políticos son una vergüenza en esta ciudad.
Best weather, ever
I'm learning a lot from you, Elliot!
I have lived in Gijon sine 1970 and i have never seen a summer as dire as 2021, The best month to visit Asturias is in September, I really enjoy your videos! Very good job!!!.
Wow.. A Gijon veteran! Thanks for watching, I'm glad you immediately watched the video.. Un saludo
@@AdventureElliot I've been living in Gijón since 1981... the year I was born. lol
We have no summer in the north this year...
@@Yakoh y yo desde 1969 año en que nací,PUXA XIXON
@Adventute Elliot cada vez haces mejores videos. La forma de explicar la historia de manera sencilla y a la vez amena, no es fácil. Esperando tus próximos videos. Congratulations.
Vale amigo gracias. Una pregunta, tú me entiendes cuando hablo inglés ? Y piensas que los subtítulos te ayudan? Quiero saber porque cuando hablo de historia o cosas importantes tengo que hacerlo en mi idioma natal .. también la idea de eso es que comparto esa historia con los angloparlantes que no entienden esa historia siempre
That city look like a laid back to live, peaceful, beautiful place
Hey tio, and real estate is very cheap there.. by the way, I live on the southern coast now (Mediterranean) and a couple from Florida (friends of mine) just bought a 500k condo and I’ll have a video on that eventually. Take care in California.
Well, it depends on the part of the city. Where I lived for 2 years, there was a karaoke right in front of my house. There was fights and problems almost every night, dr*ug dealers here and there, police coming three or four times a week... Not that peaceful huh? But there are very beautiful places where you can live without having any problems
Gijón es una ciudad muuuy tranquila,hay echos puntuales porque somos muchos habitantes y evidentemente tiene que haber de todo pero son cosas aisladas,Gijón es seguridad y es paz,mucha paz
Saludos 🇪🇦
Hiya Elliot, great video. Always informative. Forever learning. I love it. Lovely video. Nice to see you buzzing. Thank you for sharing. Wishing you and Keri a lovely week.
What a great place and great video. I love that you show us the street while talking to the camera so we can actually see what’s going on, I feeling like I’m people watching with you and Keri
Bonito vídeo Elliot, no lo había visto. Menudo día más bueno tenías (menos al final).
Que ciudad más bonita..!!!!!!!!! me encanta. Fui este verano y repetiré
¿Ciudad bonita?
Wow, beautiful city and alive! Looking forward to part 2!
Glad you liked it Phil. This style was similar to your videos except with narration. Always good to bounce ideas off each other
This is one of my favorite videos of yours! Thanks and keep up the great work!
Alright.. if you do the Camino del Norte you’ll pass through this city
@@AdventureElliot I definitely will! I've been reading all of the comments and I see several from Gijon natives, who appreciate your coverage of their city. Now, that's a complement!
@@me-lg1yw Yes.. I started this channel with the intention of showing English speakers, Americans, Canadians, Brits, Australians, etc the Spanish speaking countries from the perspecitive of someone who is bilingual and bicultural.. But it's really hard. Basically the majority of my audience is Spanish/Latino which is awesome, but I wish I had more people interested in my content like you. At the end of the day, I'm in the travel vlogging niche which is very competitive and in order to be a travel vlogger, you have to well, travel LOL.. The Pandemic has complicated everything. Anyways, comments like yours really make it all worth it. Thanks for watching
Thank you SO MUCH for this video you have made about my lovely home town.
I like how you walk and keep talking about the Spanish history. Style of tour guidance 👌
Hello FM, I'm glad you find value in it :D Thanks for watching
superb review. cheers buddy. I love Gijon.
Buen repaso a la historia de España Elliot.¡Hermosa ciudad Gijón!❤
what a great tour!
Las gaitas también las verás en Galicia Elliot. Muy buen vídeo como siempre 😃
Hi Ellot!! I saw you with a friend when you were in Plaza Instituto and we appear on the video hahahah. You did a good job with the history but the church of the Paseo de Begoña it's not a cathedral. There is just one cathedral in Asturias and it is on Oviedo. :)
Bonito video y bella ciudad, para visitar y conocerla.
I've been living in Gijón for 15 years. I love my home town but Gijón is where I want to stay. Great video!
Hello Sonia.. where are you from originally ? I’m glad you liked the video :D
@@AdventureElliot I'm from Zaragoza. So glad that CZcams reconnended your videos to me!
You sold me on going to Gijon!
Fantástico sitio,amazing place!!!!Tres playas urbanas,Universidad Laboral,Escultura de Chillida,etc.
Y se come de maravilla.
Infravalorada es la palabra. Y sí, totalmente lo está.
Great video Elliot showing off the architecture. Nice harbour there and the temperature drop down to 18c is always a shock to the system after the heat.
20 degrees is cold for me at the best of times.
Hello David.. I think this was around the time you were in your place down in Alicante. It's a complete mind blowing contrast from Southern Spain. Anyways, thanks for watching as always. Lots of history up in that part of Spain related to the English.. As always haha. By the way, I see you watch Kurt Caz.. I love his videos.. I can't wait to do videos like that .. I just gotta save up the $ and time to travel back there. Take care
@@AdventureElliot yes Kurt does some interesting videos. I am back in España
in November hopefully.
I also watch Nate’s adventures, he is an
Americano who can speak several languages including Español and they are quite funny, he goes into places ordering things in English and then switches to Spanish and the people are all shocked. I think he spent time in Mexico. Once you have seen a couple of his videos is probably enough as they are
very much the same.
Another Americano is Mitchell Travels,
I think he is from Miami. He has done some interesting videos of Europe and
there is one he did from Savilla.
Stay safe amigo on your travels
Hasta luego
@@davidwatts968 David.. I have a surprise for where I'm living now.. I would love to come over the Alicante in November time to meet up with you and another subscriber. I'll keep my whereabouts a surprise now because I'm gonna make a video about it. Also, thanks for the other channel suggestions.
@@AdventureElliot ok surprises always good. I am in Spain after the 16th November and sort of around.
I am having some work done at my Casa,
you can always PM me.
Look forward to the surprise.
Gracias
Wow!
Another great Video. Love the history edge. I live in Oviedo if you are coming here and need a place to rest. All best.
Hello Blue.. I'm thinking next summer of doing the Camino Primitivo and will be there. Un saludo!
Im from Gijón, is so cool see your city in a video
Guapisimo gracias!!!!!!!!!!!
Puxa Asturias
Gracias por la caminata de la Calle Corrida... cada que vez que voy la camino como tú. Preciosos recuerdos. Mi agradecimiento desde San Antonio, Texas.
Hola Carlos tú vives en San Antonio? Te tengo un vídeo aquí: czcams.com/video/3yWV72ibwEs/video.html
@@AdventureElliot Hola Elliot, sí, desde hace 24 años estoy aquí. Trabajo en Trinity University. Soy hijo de asturianos y tu vídeo de Gijón es una maravilla. Te felicito nuevamente. You are the best!!
Carlos
@@carlosardavin5003 Que chulo eres americano español como yo.. por cierto tengo varios vídeos de tu tierrita Asturias
Wow!!i love your videos today i have to say it,am a youtuber based en Oviedo
gracias por las aclaraciones que das a los datos bastante hacertadas....un saludo desde segovia
acertadas*
Un saludo desde GIJÓN 🥂🍾❤️❤️
I should have moved from the UK to Gijon long ago. Ola Paz Martinez Amorin 🖐️
Será infravalorada para ti que cualquiera que haya estado sabe que es preciosa.
En Asturias ahí mucha rivalidad entre Gijón y Oviedo por el fútbol el estadio del Sporting de Gijón se llama el molinon y el estadio del real Oviedo se llama el Carlos tartiere aunque a mí me gusta las dos ciudades por igual PUXA ASTURIAS
Pues en América conocemos más al sporting. Hay muchos emigrantes asturianos en México y muchos hinchas del sporting.
@@mariajesusgonzalez3281 quizás el Sporting de Gijón ah estado más años en primera y el Oviedo más años en segunda puede ser por eso
I played in La Caja de músicos, in this street buen Suceso. Is the center of street music in Gijon ❤
Gijon is 👍
Wow! Billy Mummy's brother showing me Spain. I'm loving this video! I'm thinking about retiring to Gijón and you've helped me out a great deal. It's between Gijón and Valencia. Thank you. For me, it's about meeting people who can become as close as family, more than anything else. I appreciate your accent. It hurts my ears hearing most fellow Americans slaughter Spanish. Thank you for that as well.
Hello.. Valencia and Gijon are very different but if it’s for family you can’t go wrong with either. Thanks for watching
I like your walk.
Thanks bouli, I like your videos too :D
Wow!! My city!! I was born and live in Gijón, it's a very interesting city but in Asturias the towns are better, in my opinion
Hello Lucia, awesome ! In the precious videos before this one I visit many Asturian towns!
¡Gijón ye Hollywood!
Dios mio la canción de abertura és muy parecida a una portuguesa!
Estuve en Gijon hace más de 15 años
Ya es tiempo de volver a hacerles una visita 😋
Saludos hermanos ✌🏼
Jajaja la canción fue realizado por portugueses :D
Hace medio siglo que vivo en Gijón y no había oído nunca que sufriera un incendio hace siglos. Pero todo puede ser!!!!
hi guys, gaby , from gijon.
Living in irleland from 7 years ago . Just wanna say if you do have any change to go just do it, excelent food and
price/quality you wont be dessapointed, the people is so close each other, brought my friends over there from LA they just wanna go back there as soon as possible. Hence you should assist a soccer macth in "El Molinon" ( local team stadium Sporting de Gijon)
Hie Elliot. I always enjoy your videos. Tu español es bueno y lo habla con fluidez. Te quería decir que siempre que se habla de la colonización de España se olvidan de Filipinas, que fue Colonia española hasta 1898. De igua modo los archipiélagos de las islas Carolinas y las Marianas. Seguro que me olvido de alguna más. I wish you the best in el Camino and ever. Greetings from Gijón. If you need something I'm living here for a long, long time.
España no tenía colonias. Filipinas no fue colonia, fue parte de un virreinato, del virreinato de Nueva España. Y por eso tenía un virrey, exactamente lo mismo que Navarra. No era colonia, ni tenía gobernador de colonia ni cosa que se le parezca.
Yo mencionaré los otros territorios españoles cuando sea el momento.. Hay muchísimo por el mundo para conocer. Me encantaría ir a las filipinas y hablar español allá.. Un saludo
@@AdventureElliot me temo que los norteamericanos les prohibieron hablar español y después de 400 años hablándolo tuvieron que hablar inglés. De todas formas hay lugares en que se habla chabacano, que es un español con mezcla de las lenguas de la zona.
En Filipinas: Provincias de Zamboanga, Zamboanga del Norte, Zamboanga Sibugay, Zamboanga del Sur, Basilán, Cavite, Cotabato, Davao y Tawi-Tawi.
En Malasia: En Tawau y Semporna, Sabah En Indonesia: En Ternate y Tidore.
Puxa asturies, good video bro
i'm very proud of my city😽
Muy bien Elliot...tus videos cada vez mejores..yo soy italiano y el norte de espana me encanta...sobre todo Cantabria y pais Vasco..todavia no conozco Asturias pero tus videos me dan deseo de visitarla. Cual recomendaria para 2 dias con la familia entre Gijon y Oviedo ?
Bueno, depende porque muchos dicen que Oviedo es más bonito y montañoso.. Gijon es costera
It's so fascinating how close the northwestern Spanish are to the other Celts! I love their traditional dress (we live in Norway and their dress even resembles the Norwegian one). They even have a landscape similar to the only place where Celtic languages remain, like Ireland - green and rainy!
I'm Swedish and me and my husband are choosing between Ireland and northern Spain as a permanent home. We're currently at the "absolutely can't choose on paper, must visit both in-depth" stage.
After living in one and visiting the other I would say that it all depends if you like mountains and hiking and beaches, and dense forest trails (Asturias) or prefer a culture with similar life rythm to yours (Ireland).
Im not joking both places are very social and alive in their cities and a bit dead on the villages. The biggest difference is food-sleep-work hours, the lenguage and in the landscape I would say the north of spain has a more... lost in nature feel to it.
I wanted cachopos. Sadley didn't find or know what I wanted at the time. We shall be back to try. Looks yummy
You’re back in the United States??
@@AdventureElliot Yes. In FLorida again.
Thanks for showing us Gijon! I was there in 89 and 90 when I had a girlfriend from Oviedo for 3-1/2 years. Very beautiful cities in Austrias. I’m no longer in touch with my ex, but I hope to visit Gijon and Oviedo again. The Spanish know how to live and enjoy life compared to the American lifestyle.
The bagpipe girl is actually Portuguese! The Asturian accent is quite different
Me encantan esos gaiteros
Hola Elliot! Enhorabuena por el vídeo. ¿Seguís aún por Gijón o ya habéis abandonado Asturias? Muchas gracias y suerte en tus aventuras.
Hola Yakoh.. Gracias.. Mira, grabé este video hacia atrás en Agosto así que no estoy en Asturias pero tengo mas videos para venir de Asturias.. Un saludo
@@AdventureElliot Too bad, Elliot! I would've loved to recommend you so many beautiful places in Asturias. I hope you and your girlfriend have enjoyed your stay in our small principality. Thanks you for your videos, you gave me the chance to see my own land through completely new eyes, and man, it' s beautiful. 😍
@@Yakoh thanks for enjoying the videos.. there’s still more to come from Asturias. We were on a schedule so we didn’t have time for everything but I would love to rent a car and explore that way :D next summer
@@AdventureElliot Awesome! Please do let me know and I'll invite you and your girl to a sidra. 😊
the place where the people was eating is knowed as La ruta de los vinos (route of the wine) 16:04
The best place in spain to live, eat or only walk
Incredible Elliot, I have a primo there he owns a grocery store, Evansto Santos. We met in Buenos Aires in 1978. Mom and brother visited him in Gijon in 96. I am trying to get his attention on Facebook but I am often censored. Abuelas home was Tieneo sp.? Evaristo was born there and moved back to Spain to serve in the Army. He knows I want to move there, watching your videos are motivating me. Going to try to contact Evaristo again. Nice meeting you.
Gijón
A tu referencia de la reconquista de España, hay un frase que lo dice todo, Asturias es España y lo demás tierra conquistada. Solo pones la ruta de los vino, te quedo otra parte pasando el burking, y si vas al caso antiguo ahí tiene mucho más. Madre lo que te quedo por ver, pero es normal, te falta un guía y tiempo claro.
tendre otro video de casco antiguo.. Esque no quise hacer un video demasiado largo sabes?
Is my own town, I born in that beach ❤🙏❤
Planning to move in Gijon soon. What is the best district to live there?
😍😍😍
hi Elliot, I think the group of pipers and pandereteiras, aren't from Gijón, they are portuguese indeed, thier accent is as well, and they are playing a popular portuguese tune: "amarindinha, vem a janela", maybe they were at the celtic festival as guests
Yeah, they are from Portugal but there are bagpipe bands in Asturias and Galicia also.
Alright great, thanks for the insight
Ssssshhh🤫 que se nos llena de foriatos y estamos muy bien como estamos
Dicen que en el camino de santiago hay un tesoro y ese tesoro es Asturias. Tu lo as dicho ya con tu comentario
Un tesoro sí y si haces el Camino, descubres todo Asturias a pie con sus pueblos encantadores.. Como ya has visto
Love to see my city on yt! Not used to it since it's not as known as Madrid or Barcelona. Hope you guys liked it
I love exploring the smaller and medium sized cities in Spain.. even better are the towns and villages :D and don’t worry we loved it :D
Nice video man. Asturian accent doesn't sound like Portuguese. That woman you happened to speak with was Portuguese haha. I'm telling you this because I'm from gijon. But good work work man
Hello im from there From Gijon/Xixon
I was one time and I want to return soon
That's my home!!!!
Tu casa es mi casa :D
If you happen to come again to Gijón, tell me and I'll be your personal tour guide through the most important and great places
Orgulllosu de vivir en Xixón... ¡¡¡¡¡PUXA ASTURIES!!!!!!
Vamos puxe asturies !!
Gijón is the safest city of spain
Hi!! Just a quick correction from a Playu(people born in Gijón) . Those pipes weren't asturian, they were portuguese and therefore they speak portuguese!! Asturian accent doesn't sound like portuguese. Great videos!!
Pero en honor a la verdad Gijón tiene buen ambiente y unos restaurantes al lado de la playa francamente precioso. Lo uno no quita a lo otro(lo que he dicho antes).
Vacvnos is one of the best burger manufactur in town Gijón
Es la plaza del parchís
Elliot, la Gaitera es Portuguesa por esa su acento suena portugués😀
Lo que comentas de que parece grande es pq para la población que tiene es una ciudad que ocupa mucho espacio, y te habrás fijado la cantidad de gente que hay por la calle. En Gijón la gente nada más que puede se tira a la calle. Ahh, y el clima típico de Asturias: Nubes y claros con posibilidad de chubascos xd
En el norte hay dos climas o llueve o va a llover.
Good video but unless you go in the dead of summer it DOES get cold and it rains a lot. And the beach although it looks nice in your video it’s TOO COLD for most people to swim in.
0:07 Se escribe PUXA , te lo digo de buen rollo .
Lo mejor es que digas que Gijón es la capital de Asturias 😀😀😀
Jaja me equivoqué 🤦🏻♂️
@@AdventureElliot No, si yo que soy de Gijón me parece muy bien que lo digas. Igual a los de Oviedo no les hace mucha gracia jaja. Buen vídeo de este paraíso desconocido :D
Elliot , Gijón es una ciudad aristocrática , como Oviedo , y tiene turistas del resto de España sobre todo.
Es preciosa. Que suerte estar ahí.un abrazo a los dos.🙅
No se de donde sacas que Gijón es aristocrática,tiene fama de ser industrial y trabajadora y supongo que sus habitantes están orgullosos de ello.
Pronto ya verás la ciudad industrial de la zona: Aviles.. Que tiene historia relacionado con los EEUU :D
❤️💛💛❤️💚✌️
Gijon es mi sueños
👍👌✌️💪💪
La capital es Oviedo y San Lorenzo no es una catedral
Bueno gracias muchos ya me han dicho jaja me equivoqué.. creo que significaba que Gijon es la ciudad más grande de la zona. Un saludo.
@@AdventureElliot Nada ho un saludo
¿Quién más en Gijón 👀😌? #2022
Gijón no tiene catedral,lo que se podía ver era la Iglesia San Lorenzo,preciosa por cierto,como toda mi ciudad,PUXA XIXON,PUXA ASTURIES 🇪🇦
Pero si vivo aquí
ES VERDAD ,TIENE SU ENCANTO , PERO ME QUEDO CON SANTANDER !!
Me gustan los dos 😊
Hi chaval!!!! How are you?? Espero que te gustará la ciudad. Cuando nos desvelaras cual es tu nueva ciudad!!! Enjoy!!!
My bien Gemi.. Te explicaré donde estoy cuando tenga un rato hacer un video de eso :D
La capital as Oviedo, aunque Gijón es la más bonita 😁
jajaj pay atention 16:21.... Calle Begoña is another place xD Thats "la ruta de los vinos"
Gotta love some buen vino :D
