Gijon is the biggest city of Asturias, with clean and beautiful beaches, and a popular gastronomical area. It is a place with a lot of cider production of the locally grown apples. One can visit many museums in Gijon, amongst others the Laboral Ciudad de la Cultura, a cultural center with theatres and museums. It is a very likeable city with a nice little port at the waterfront, with a relaxed, maritime flair.
Region: Asturias
The area is famous for a perfect combination of culture, nature and gastronomy. The landscape is beautiful, as it is part of the ‘Green Spain’, due to the oceanic climate providing the nature with enough resources to blossom. Several National Parks such as the Picos de Europa National Park prove this fact with amazing mountain ranges, or the beautiful Covadonga Lakes. The many caves to be found in this area and other important monuments like i.e. the church San Miguel de Lillo are declared UNESCO World Heritage Site and are definitely worth a visit.
