The Atlantic coast of Spain. Hichon

05.05.2020

Today's photo report, we open a large cycle of travel stories on the Spanish Asturian Province. This beautiful green region We came at the invitation of the tourist company Privetspain, which is engaged in the organization of individual recreation and traveling along the north of Spain for tourists from Russia.

Meet our first dawn in Asturias we went along with Privetspain employees to the beach near Gihona. Despite the beginning of autumn, early hour and official weekend in honor of the Asturias Day, this beach was clean and cleaned the wipers on tractors.

And local fishermen, meanwhile, have already been engaged in their craft, catching the gifts of the sea, which the entire North of Spain is so famous and, in particular, Asturias.

From the beach opened a wonderful view of all mountain peaks Picos de Europa, including the peak of Phyto (Fito), the famous international auto racing on its mountain serpentines.

This cozy beach is located in a beautiful fishing village of Luanko (Lluanco) 10 km from Gijona.

Russian tourists are almost unknown that around the world, Asturias are famous for their wide sandy beaches. Beach with a blue flag (the highest sign of differences) in Asturia there are more than a dozen.

But besides the sandy shores of Asturias, it is also famous for their waves - perfect for surfing.

At this early hour we met about a dozen surficists on the beach, trying to settle the wave.

After small morning walk On the coast, we returned back to Gijon, where we have already met a bright sun.

All guests arriving in Gijon, be sure to show his magnificent embankment and San Lorenzo beach (Playa de San Lorenzo), from which it offers a wonderful view of the Old Town.

The weather in Asturias can change several times during the day, especially in the fall. Our first morning in Gijon was sunk and warm. And good weather, of course, the locals are used. Someone is engaged in swimming ...

... Someone run or just a walk along the beach.

In addition to the historic part - the Old Town and Checkling - in Gijon there are modern "residents".
The new hykhon symbol is the Giangan letters installed on the embankment in 2011. In this centered place there are always many tourists, and it is very difficult to take a picture of the letters without people passing in front of them :)

Another of the very new iconic attractions of Hichon is this green tree ...

... composed of 3200 glass empty bottles from under the famous Asturian cider. Installation is erected with the idea of \u200b\u200bcare about environmentAnd nearby is a large receiver for glass.

It should be noted that in addition to the embankment and the old city in Gijon, there is almost nothing to see and pofotkat, in small exceptions. So, after a visit to the embankment, we went to inspect Laboral, the largest building on the territory of Spain (with an area of \u200b\u200b270,000 m²), which was built during Franco in 1946-156.

The size of the complex is impressive. Despite the fact that at present this building is located university, theater and many government organizations, the territory still looks deserted.
The main tourist attraction here is the Laboral Tower. This is the highest building in Asturias. On the very top of the tower can be climbed onto a modern elevator for 1.6 euros, which we did not fail to take advantage.

The area of \u200b\u200bthe observation deck, the height of which is 117 meters, offers a panoramic view of the landscape of a green city under his feet, nearby buildings and all Gihon.

Next to Laboral is located in a sense, the Silicone Valley of Asturias. Here are the offices of all major high-tech companies in the region, and everything works about 13,000 people here.

Such a Hichon opened from a height of 117 meters.

We must admit that we were little familiar with Asturia before this trip. A typical tourist is usually aware of only about national Park In the mountains "Picos de Europe", Kovadong Monastery, Kovadong Sider and the famous Cabrales cheese. Therefore, when we saw the program of our weekly route provided by our friends from Privetspain, we did not believe our eyes! It turns out that there are many interesting, amazing and amazing imagination of things in this territory.

From Gichona, we were lucky to look at one of these raisins, which are not very written in ordinary tourist guides.

Buffones (bufones) are karst caves In the form of chimneys or deep wells up to one hundred (!) Meters of depth, which are located on the rocky coasts by the sea.

Buffers leave the base directly to the water, and during strong tides you can observe gigantic fountains, drowning up to 40 meters in height.

Unfortunately, during our arrival there was a tump, and we could only hear how the ominously breathe these natural chimneys, which in itself causes delight and tremble.

But from the height of 50-70 meters, the craftsmen in Asturias catch fish :)

After the buffones, we went to the next hidden pearl of Asturias.

Beach with a funny almost Finnish name Gulpiyuri (Playa Gulpiyuri). This unique beacher is located in the lowland between the cities of Ribadesella and Llanes.
Despite its small size and complete closure, it is a real sea beach with salt and sand, located right in the middle of the farm fields. Sea water Enters the cave system and underground tunnels.

On the baby Gulpiyuri, everything is like on the sea: there are their rings and foals, and on clean sandy shore Local romance arrive to sunbathe.

Motherland ice cream

They say, in Gihon, the production of ice cream began to flourish as a craft in the snow. The snow was maintained in special pits and summer, converted into ice, was transported and sold. By tradition, many families in Khichon produce ice cream, "horchatas. »And cold drinks (glanizados).

*** This story is a fragment of a big story about the trip in Northern Spain: " Spanish north - from Bilbao to Chichon: unusual Spain ". It is clear that the exhaust excerpt from the general context by definition loses a lot, so it's best to read the entire story of the whole - if you wish to find it very difficult!

I arrived in Gijon in the evening when the setting sun is golden the buildings of the old city, built of yellow stone:

The main symbol of Chichen is the famous Pelaio, the image of which here can be found even on the garbage containers:

0 0

Pelaio - westgoth king, First ruler Kingdom of Asturias, and therefore, if you simplify the situation and do not get into the debrist (in this story I do not want to do this) all centuries-old historical intricants - the first king of Spain, since the Asturias, having existed under this name about two centuries, began to be called the Kingdom of Leon, which subsequently entered In the composition of Castile, well, namely, Castilla, no matter what the Aragonians spoke, was the core of the formation of modern Spain.

It is believed that it was from Pelaio "pushed" the Spanish reconquist, which lasted without the small 8th centuries. It was under his command in 718 (according to some data - in 722) was obsessed with the first victory over Muslims who captured Pyrenees a few years ago, entered in history as Battle at Kowadong. From a military point of view, she did not solve anything, because it did not affect the alignment of the opposing forces at that moment, but it was difficult to overestimate her psychological importance: according to Mortona "Victory became the beginning of reconquists and led to the birth of the first of Christian kingdoms - the kingdom of Asturias"Like most of the like, this event instantly covered with symbols and legends. Over time, Kowadong became the place of worship and pilgrimage. In the cave, where, as it is believed, Pelaio has been hidden during the battle, now there is a small chapel with the image of Our Lady of Kowadong, announced by the patroness of Asturias . And the cross who Pelaio allegedly saw before the battle, named Cross Victory (Cruz de la Victoria), still decorate the coat of arms and the flag of the modern Asturian principality:

0 0

A lot of loud words are written in relation to this victory, but I, speaking of her, I would like to refrain from an excess pathos. In the end, do not forget that those who have wanted the Pyrenean lands, just 200 years ago they came here as the invaders ...

However, it would be great and read here (I remind you that Gijon is the largest city of Asturias, although its capital is Oviedo) Senor Pelaio, I'm not sure that he belongs to the unconditional 1st place among local symbols. Because in Hichon he has another very strong competitor, more precisely a rival, because in Spain this word refers to the female family: it La Sidra.or, speaking easier, just cider.

Cider - Apple Low-alcohol (from 3 to 8 degrees) Drink - has long been produced and drinks in many countries: in France, England, Belgium, Ireland, Germany. I do not know how there, but in Asturias, and it is in Hichon (from those cities that I visited) Cider is a cult beating. Honestly, I thought that despite all my historicity and symbolism, attitude local residents Sitra is relatively calm: Well, yes, he is, but there is no problem with him, yes, it can be found in every bar, yes, it is still poured. And, perhaps (as I thought), Cider has already become more tourist attraction, rather than part of the local lifestyle.

But no, no and no longer! I even could not imagine the scale of local siditism! In the evening, on the tables, every cafe and bar was a huge many people and all drank sidra! :) Of course, if you wish, you could probably find a couple of renegades and opportunists, shy, clogging into a corner squeezing beer or wine, but in any case they completely lost in the masses driving a yellow drink from green bottles. Evening Chichon lived Sidrom and only Sidrom - and no Pelaio was not able to take it with his popularity. It looked like this:

0 0

And this is still far from the most crowded Sidrilla, as it is not difficult to guess, the establishments specializing in Sider are called here. Now I regret that I didn't make any more similar photos in different places - you could get a beautiful and visual photoset "Cider in Gijon" ... for some reason I have paid signs much more attention:

0 0

The last photo is not indicative in terms of "humanity" - this is a slightly different part of the city, in whose institution people come not so much to drink and have fun how much calmly communicate.

Hichon, by the way, turned out to be the only city (again, from those where I was), where it was possible to try Cider, just asking the cup (in other places it was sold only by bottles). What I did, paying 1 euro and biting with free Pinchos with Choriso from the tray exhibited on the bar counter. My opinion about Sider turned out to be smooth enough: on the one hand, I can't say that I did not like it - and later I ordered him a few times for lunch. On the other hand, it is unlikely to dream of me, and if I never visit the "sidrone" edges, I will not be especially upset about this score. By the way, approximately the same attitude towards it, apparently, exists in Cantabria: when I asked Barmen in Castro Urdiales, why the cider did not offer there, he shrugged indifferently and said: "Yes No, just everyone knows that It is everywhere, and if anyone wants to drink something cheaper, he orders Cider. "

A special conversation deserves the process of pouring cider from a bottle into a glass (they are also special: large, wide, a little cone-shaped. In Spain they are called Culín - I do not know, however, how everywhere). The waiter or bartender raises one hand with a bottle high up, a glass in another hand lowers as low as possible and begins the mystical process of "nanice", which in Spanish corresponds to the verb Escanciar, which means simply "spill wine". It looks like this:

0 0

Sometimes this situation uses the word "ECHAR" or "TiRAR", which is already more interesting: throw, throw, drop. Traditionally, it is believed that Cider should be drunk until a foam is kept in the glass, which is formed by spilling, "throwing", and what remains after its disappearance, it is necessary to be simply pouring out. In the old days, it was done right on the floor, later in some establishments began to install special reels, where the numerous remains of cider merged. I read that with such foaming, the cider is enriched with carbon dioxide from the air, which somehow affects its taste. I can not say anything on this: I drank Cider and foamed, and when the foam already disappeared, and the difference in taste, honestly, did not feel.

With such a popular popularity, it does not surprise the appearance of the "Monument Sitra" on the Chihon embankment. It is more surprising that, judging by the pictures from the chambers Google, he appeared only recently:

Gijon in his historical part (how to say that it is still difficult to call it an old city) - a very colorful and bright city - in the literal sense of these words, and the walk on him delivered many positive emotions.

Traditional for any Spanish city Main Square Plaza Mayor. In the traditional arcade style and on it, of course, unchanged ayuntamatento:

The most recognizable Gichon building, can safely be said - his symbol is Palace Revillingahiheedo (Palacio de Revillagigedo), built at the very beginning of the 18th century.

0 0

It is not surprising that the palace resembles a fortress: with its structure, the medieval fortress tower of the 15th century was used (it is right, if you look at the facade of the building). But the left was already built according to her image and likeness for the general symmetry of the building. It is curious that the big coat of arms at the top of the facade appeared on the palace quite recently - in 2004 after a thorough study of historical documents and photographs of the 19th century.

The Palace of Reviliac Hedo was one of the most beautiful and authentic structures that I had a chance to see in Northern Spain!

15 years after the construction of the palace, the church was attached to him, consecrated in honor of John the Baptist (San Juan Bautista), but the status of collegiates was attached to it. Its square tower can be seen on previous photos.

Another "brand" of Gihon, of course, significantly inferior to Pelaio and Sidrier (or Siddra and Pelaio) is a personality Gaspara Melchor de Hovelyanosa - Spanish writer and socio-political figure of the artist Goya And the Prime Minister of Manuel Godoy, known for the nickname "Prince of the World". Those who read the book L. Feikhthanger "Goya, or a grave path of knowledge," probably remembers the peripetics of relationship between these characters. In His honor, the street, theater, and the Faculty of Local University are named in Hichon; Here is the Hovelianos Institute and, of course, a house-museum, where he was born.

Next to the preserved (relatively, of course), the Roman terms are established a monument to the emperor Octavianu Augustusduring the rule of which after the conquest of Cantabria and Asturias (entered in history called Cantabrian Wars) The entire Pyrenean Peninsula finally ended up under the rule of the Roman Empire. And after the administrative reform of August "North" entered the province of Tarrakonskaya Spain.

By the way, it was in these places the Romans "borrowed" many characters associated with the Moon and the Sun, in particular - the standard with the so-called Cantabrian cross (Lábaro Cántabro), which was used later about 300 years.
