📍 Destination Overview
Gijon, the largest city of Spain's Principality of Asturias, lies on the Cantabrian Sea. Roman baths reveal old spa culture, while cobbled lanes keep a fishing-village feel, and the two-kilometre San Lorenzo beach offers leisure. Cider houses fill the old town with their pouring ritual alongside stews and seafood, and host the summer Piano Festival.
