2Gijón (Asturias)

Gijón is the beating heart of Asturias’ rugged coastline, where green hills meet the Bay of Biscay. The city blends working-class character with modern appeal, offering sandy beaches alongside industrial heritage.

Cimavilla, the old fishermen’s quarter, is perfect for strolling, while cider houses provide a taste of Asturian culture. Gijón is also a great base for exploring Asturias’ dramatic cliffs and hidden coves, making it ideal for travelers seeking authenticity away from Spain’s more tourist-heavy coasts.
