Xixón
The hilltop settlements around Spain which pre-date the Romans are called Castros. Originally, the buildings generally were round, daub-and-waddle construction. At Xixòn, the excavated foundations are rectilinear, which is believed to come from the influence of the Romans in the Third Century.
Laboral was a system of schools created in the 1950s, exclusively for the free education of children of the working class. Everything was provided to the students, including room, board, uniforms and books. The Laboral school at Xixón was the crown jewel, constructed in neo-classical style. Antonio Javier González Diaz attended here from age 11 to 19, and then at the Laboral university. It now is part of the University of Oviedo system.
