Things to do Theatricalized Tour of Jovellanos in Gijón

are you ready to meet one of the greatest representatives of the Enlightenment in Spain? We will meet at the entrance of the Casa Natal de Jovellanos and start a tour. Gijón owes a lot to this illustrious character, since he managed to transform the city from different fields, such as culture, architecture or economy. Gaspar Melchor de Jovellanos, who was born in 1744 in the area of Cimavilla, was one of the great men of his time, and this is reflected in many of the corners of Gijón. Throughout this dramatized tour, we will delve into the biography of this Asturian philosopher, jurist and politician, visiting some of the points that marked a before and after in his life, such as the beach of San Lorenzo and the famous wall that he himself devised to contain the advance of the Cantabrian Sea. Afterwards, we will walk to the Plaza del Parchís, where the Jovellanos Institute is located, to investigate the role of Jovellanos in education. What were his contributions? In addition, we will walk along the Paseo de Begoña until we reach the Plaza del Seis de Agosto, where we will remember the reception that Gijón gave him after he was exiled from Asturias.
