|
The busy port and industrial town of Gijón is the largest city in Asturias, with one of the best harbors on the north coast of Spain. It lies between two sheltered bays on the south side of the former rocky island of Santa Catalina and on the deposits of alluvial soil which now link it with the mainland. Gijón is the economic center of Asturias, and much of the coal mined in the province is shipped from its harbor at El Musel. There is a predominance of heavy industry (smelting works, shipyards, engineering plants); other products include glass and ceramics.
