About Gijón

Gijón has Roman roots and grew as a Cantabrian Sea port, with its oldest quarter, Cimavilla, on a small peninsula by the harbour. Today it is Asturias' largest city and a relaxed seaside destination, with a long beach, cider culture and seafood restaurants.

TravelDaddy verdictSea air, cider and room to breathe.

A practical first trip balances the must-sees with one unscheduled half-day.
