Calle Corrida

Gijón's main street is Calle Corrida, a wide pedestrian avenue leading from the gardens of the Queen to the Six Square August. The amount of people that were always in the streets was simply astounding. It brings together many of the leading businesses in the city, as well as banks and many cafes that take their terraces to the street, where there is never a place to sit down since they are always super busy at any time of day. Halfway down the street you'll come across the Plaza del Carmen, in which there is a fountain, of which forms part of the "Wine Zone".
