ON THIS PAGE WE WISH TO PAY TRIBUTE TO THE STONEMASONS WHO CARRIED OUT THE MAGNIFICENT WORK AT THE UNIVERSIDAD LABORAL DE GIJÓN.
UNFORTUNATELY, OVER THE YEARS THESE TRADES HAVE BEEN DISAPPEARING, AND TODAY IT IS PRACTICALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO CARRY OUT A WORK WITH THE LEVEL OF STONE CRAFTSMANSHIP ACHIEVED IN GIJÓN.

IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT ALL THE GREYISH STONE USED AT THE UNIVERSIDAD LABORAL DE GIJÓN, AS WELL AS THE STONEMASONS WHO WORKED IT, CAME FROM THE TOWN OF MINGORRÍA (ÁVILA)
