The story of Christmas in Gijon
In Gijon, many children give their Christmas letter not to Santa but to L'Anguleru, an eel fisherman who arrives by boat. On January 5 the Three Kings land at the marina instead of driving in. Here is how a visiting family can enjoy both, plus the free and low-cost events around them.
How Gijon celebrates Christmas
Gijon is a seaside city in Asturias, and its Christmas has a lot to do with the water. Children hand their letters to L'Anguleru, the Three Kings arrive by boat, and on December 25 some people even swim in the harbor.
The season begins in late November. In 2025 the lights were switched on at 6:30 pm on Friday, November 28, in Plaza Mayor, with the city's children and youth choir singing. That year there was a star at the Náutico, a roof of lights over El Muro and a blue tree at Poniente.
For a visiting family, the surprise is how outdoorsy and local it feels: a free treasure hunt in a nature park, an aquarium visit with a gift bringer, and a Kings parade that starts in a neighborhood school.
Local traditions your kids will meet
L'Anguleru is the most Asturian character of the season, and he is quite young. He was created in 2008 in L'Arena, in the municipality of Soto del Barco, by an association called Garabuxada. His name means eel fisherman, the typical trade of that estuary. He arrives on Christmas Eve in his boat, L'Angulina, and brings gifts. According to the legend, he spends the year in the Sargasso Sea, a sea full of seaweed, looking after eels, and at Christmas he catches baby eels, sells them at the fish market and buys the presents with the money.
The Three Kings (Melchor, Gaspar and Baltasar) are the other gift bringers. Their royal pages collect children's letters. The idea of a page who gathers letters was invented by journalist José Fernández Buelta, who wrote about it in the press in 1962. At the Teatro Jovellanos, the letters are taken by a character called Prince Abdeladid.
Nativity scenes, called belenes, are also part of the season. A local nativity association sets up a monumental one at the Antiguo Instituto, and the Atlantic Botanical Garden has a city-run one with up to 32 figures and free entry.
Planning a Christmas visit to Gijon with kids
The events on this page start early, with free family 3D printing sessions in late November, and run to January 3. Many are free but need a booking: a Christmas card workshop on December 13, a family treasure hunt at Monte Deva from December 26 to 30, and L'Anguleru's letter collection at the aquarium on December 24.
Two theater shows are ticketed: a Christmas party with the group Pica Pica on December 27, and a family musical about El Pollo Pepe on January 3. There are also workshops at the Jurassic Museum of Asturias in Colunga and a Christmas activity at the Prehistory Park in Teverga, both outside the city, where you will want a car or a plan for getting there.
Most events are in Spanish. The exception is an English storytime at the aquarium on December 13, listed at 2 euros as a donation.
A royal page invented for a grandson
The story of the royal page is a tender one. According to a local blog, Fernández Buelta created him for his grandson, who was born on January 4, which is why the page announces the Kings on that day. The blog also says Gijon was the first Asturian city to introduce one, under the name Abd-el-Aziz.
Traditions today
- L'Anguleru's letter collection: On Christmas Eve morning the Gijon Aquarium collects children's letters for the eel fisherman who brings gifts. In 2025 entry was free until the room was full.
- The royal page at Teatro Jovellanos: In the days before the Kings, Prince Abdeladid collects letters in the theater lobby. In 2025 this was from 12 to 2 pm.
- The Kings arrive by sea: On January 5 the Kings land in the morning at the marina next to the old fish market, and the parade runs in the evening.
- Nativity scenes: A monumental one at the Antiguo Instituto, set up by the local nativity association, and a smaller city-run one at the Atlantic Botanical Garden with free entry.
- Christmas market on Paseo de Begoña: Stalls, a carousel and a Ferris wheel from late November to January 7 in 2025. Rides cost 2.50 euros.
- Christmas races and a Christmas swim: A Christmas Eve race on the 24th, a swim in the marina on the 25th and the San Silvestre races, with children's races, on December 31.
A fact for kids
L'Anguleru, the character who brings gifts in Asturias, is a fisherman. He catches baby eels, sells them and uses the money to buy toys. He lives in a sea full of seaweed called the Sargasso Sea.
Questions about Christmas in Gijon
Is Gijon worth visiting at Christmas with kids?
Yes, especially if you like seaside towns and quirky traditions. Children can meet L'Anguleru at the aquarium, see the Three Kings land by boat, visit nativity scenes and join free family workshops. Many events need a booking, so plan ahead.
Who is L'Anguleru?
He is an Asturian Christmas character, an eel fisherman who arrives on Christmas Eve in his boat, L'Angulina, and brings gifts to children. He was created in 2008 in L'Arena, in Soto del Barco, so he is a very recent tradition compared with the Three Kings.
When and where can kids give their letter to L'Anguleru in 2026?
On Thursday, December 24, 2026, from 11:30 am at the Gijon Aquarium, with free entry. In 2025 entry was free until the room was full, and children who could not attend left their letters in a mailbox in the lobby.
Where does L'Anguleru live?
According to the legend, in the Sargasso Sea, a sea full of seaweed, where he spends the year looking after eels. At Christmas he fishes for baby eels and sells them at the fish market to buy the gifts.
How do I explain L'Anguleru to a young child?
Tell your child that L'Anguleru works like any fisherman. He arrives by boat, catches baby eels, sells them at the fish market and uses the money to buy toys. It shows that every present comes from work, and it teaches the word rula, which means fish market.
Does Gijon have Santa or the Three Kings?
Gijon has L'Anguleru, who leaves gifts on Christmas Eve, and the Three Kings, who arrive on January 5. Children can write to both. L'Anguleru's letters go to the aquarium, and the Kings' letters go to the Teatro Jovellanos.
Where can children hand their letter to the Kings' page in Gijon?
In the lobby of the Teatro Jovellanos. In 2025 Prince Abdeladid met children there on December 27, 29 and 30 and on January 2, from 12 to 2 pm. It is a calm activity for small children.
Who invented the royal page in Asturias?
According to a local blog, the journalist José Fernández Buelta from Oviedo, who revealed the idea in the press in 1962. It says he created the page as a gift for his grandson, born on January 4, which is why the page announces the Kings on that day.
What time do the Three Kings arrive by boat in Gijon?
On January 5, 2026 they arrived at 10:15 am at the marina, on the pier closest to the old fish market. Afterward they stayed in Plaza del Marqués until 11:30 and met children at City Hall from 1 to 3 pm. The parade was in the evening, so you can see both on the same day.
What route does the Three Kings parade follow in Gijon?
In 2026 it left at 6:30 pm from the Begoña public school and passed through Uría, Jovellanos, Plaza del Carmen and Marqués de San Esteban, ending at the Jardines de la Reina. In 2025 it had started in La Calzada. This year's route is not given here, so check with the city.
How big is the Three Kings parade in Gijon?
In January 2026 it had 11 floats, 8 support vehicles and about 800 people on foot, including the Star of the East carriage, folklore groups and musical floats, throwing candy along the way. At 9:30 pm the Kings spoke from the City Hall balcony in Plaza Mayor.
When were the Christmas lights switched on in Gijon in 2025?
On Friday, November 28, 2025 at 6:30 pm in Plaza Mayor, with carols from the Gijon children and youth choir. That year there was a star at the Náutico, rings of light on the Plaza Mayor tree and a roof of lights over El Muro.
Why is there a blue Christmas tree at Poniente?
In 2025 Gijon's lights included a blue tree at Poniente for a project called Naval Azul. It was one of that year's new features, along with the Náutico star and the El Muro roof, and a good reason for a family walk to Poniente beach.
Can we see a large nativity scene in Gijon?
Yes. The local nativity association sets up a monumental one at the Antiguo Instituto, which in 2025 was open from December 5 to January 7 except on the 24th and 31st. The Atlantic Botanical Garden has a smaller city-run one with up to 32 figures and free entry.
Is there an ice rink in Gijon at Christmas?
In 2025 Inverland set up in the Parque del Tren de la Libertad from November 28 to January 7. Its rink looked like a snowy lake from the Picos de Europa and had a slide and a Christmas train. Skating cost 8 euros an hour and the train 4 euros per ride.
Can kids run the San Silvestre in Gijon?
Yes. On the afternoon of December 31, children's races start at 4 pm with 2,000 places, and the main 6,000 meter race at 5 pm. The 2025 race was the 56th edition, and every runner gets a commemorative T-shirt.
Do people really swim in Gijon on Christmas Day?
Yes. Every December 25 there is a Christmas swim in the marina, organized by the municipal sports board. In 2025 it was at 11:30 am and registration cost 5 euros. With small children it is easier to watch from the promenade, dressed warmly.
What free family activities are on in Gijon this Christmas?
Several are free but need a booking: the Monte Deva treasure hunt from December 26 to 30, with sessions at 11 am and 12:30 pm, and the LAB Monte Deva card and decoration workshop on December 13. L'Anguleru's letter collection on December 24 is free too.
What is the English storytime in Gijon?

Are there Christmas things to do near Gijon?
Yes, two options outside the city. The Jurassic Museum of Asturias in Colunga runs December workshops for ages 4 to 11, and the Prehistory Park in Teverga has a Christmas activity on four December dates. Ask the venues about prices and booking.
