Usage Note

Gijonés is the demonym for a native or resident of Gijón, the largest city in Asturias, northern Spain. The feminine is gijonesa; the plural gijoneses. Like most Spanish demonyms it doubles as an adjective: el dialecto gijonés. The written accent marks final-syllable stress, which is otherwise unexpected for a word ending in -s.

Examples

"El atletismo gijonés tiene una larga tradición."

Natural Translation

Athletics in Gijón has a long tradition.
