Gijon, Spain

Last night when we returned to our room we found a pig sitting on the bed.

It’s amazing what they can do with towels.

All of the tours were moderately strenuous so we decided to do the town on our own.  There were free shuttles taking us into town which was nice.  The shuttles dropped us near this boat harbor.

From there it was a short walk to the center of town.  Because it was Sunday, most places were closed.  We weren’t sure if this was a church or a public building.

We came to a large open area with some restaurants that were open.

 

This statue was in the center of the area with a fountain around it.

We went through a stone archway and found ourselves in the Plaza Mayor

 

The City Hall building is at the end and was constructed in the 1800’s.

   

We walked between the buildings on the left side and found a green area with this statue.  This area looked out on the Bay of Biscaye.

There was also this a church but the trees hung over the sidewalk so far that we weren’t able to get a good picture.

We walked back down towards the harbor and took a few more pictures.

There were steps down to the water in the center of the picture.

 

We headed back to the ship for lunch.  Tonight was the first production show in the theatre.  I took only two pictures because the light was bothering Wayne.

After the show we played some blackjack and then went to bed.
