Landing of Charles I at Tazones

Activity · Villaviciosa, Gijón, Asturias

Image of Villaviciosa, not of the place itself.

Every summer the port of Tazones re-enacts the arrival of 19 September 1517, when a storm drove the future emperor's fleet into this cove; the celebration is a festival of tourist interest of the Principality.
