Gijon Hotels

If Oviedo, the proud capital of the Principality of Asturias, is worth a visit however, then so too is Gijón. Less than 40 km separates the two after all and the contiguous countryside is a marvel to behold. Gijón then, with 275,000 people and numerous architectural landmarks of note, is a solid holiday itinerary contender. While the city is a busy industrial seaport, it also unfurls a lovely Bay of Biscay coastline and slew of cultural attractions. The Revillagigedo Palace and Museum for one, is a must. The grand San Lorenzo Church, Nicanor Piñole Museum and Juan Barjola Museum all help cobble together Gijón’s story in brilliant fashion. For recreation, the Archaeological and Natural Park Campa Torres is superlative.
