About Gijón
Gijón is a seaside city on Spain's northern coast in Asturias, with a long city beach, an old fishermen's quarter and a deep cider tradition.
Gijón stands on the Bay of Biscay in Asturias, in green northern Spain, and is the largest city in the region. The Playa de San Lorenzo, a broad crescent of sand that the tides rework twice a day, runs below a long promenade. Cimadevilla, the old fishermen's quarter on a headland, is a tangle of narrow streets with a Roman bath site, Campo Valdés, and at its top Elogio del Horizonte, a concrete sculpture by Eduardo Chillida, looks over the sea.
