History

Historically, the area around Gozón has been inhabited since ancient times. The region has evidence of prehistoric settlements, including dolmens and other megalithic structures, which indicate early human presence in the area.

The history of Playa de Xagó itself is likely intertwined with the broader history of Gozón. Like many coastal areas in Spain, the region might have seen some maritime and fishing activities in the past. Fishermen and their families may have settled near the coast to take advantage of the abundant marine resources.

In more recent times, during the 20th century, Spain experienced significant socio-economic changes, including the growth of tourism. Coastal areas like Gozón, with their beautiful beaches such as Playa de Xagó, began to attract visitors looking for leisure and relaxation by the sea. The increase in tourism led to the development of infrastructure and facilities to accommodate the influx of tourists.
