Arcades and columns in Galiana street in the famous ancient city of Aviles, Asturias, Spain. It built in the seventeenth century, coinciding with the expansion of the city outside the walled area. It has large fully soportalada area: 252 meters are covered. Many of the buildings then still exist today without many alterations. Another feature is the pavement Galiana arcades, divided into two parts: paved for livestock transit and another tile citizens. We must highlight the splendid you balconies that overlook the street, some of them vintage. On the side chapel Jesusín end Galiana rises, originally from the seventeenth century although the current factory is the nineteenth. All this makes this street a unique urban space, now converted into a recreational area. Since 1987 it has been singled out by festively reason for her Fluvial Descent, avilesino most original event of the carnival (or Antroxu), the highlight of northern Spain.
