Always one of my favorite hang out spots to chill in Gijon, Asturias (from 2012 to 2016), whenever I want to escape my city life from nearby Oviedo, especially when the Sun is up! I had some good memories in this beach, with some special people in my life. You won't go wrong, going to a nice, wide, and, "friendly" beach, if you just wanna relax, for free.

An inspiring place to visit. The top of the hill has a Chillida Monument faced to the sea where you can enjoy a privileged view of the sea, the Gijón City beach and the Musel harbour.

I'm very pleased to say that, contrary to usual Spanish expectations, the museum was actually open for a few hours on a Sunday. And very pleased we were... First things first, it's free. But we wouldn't have minded paying for such a treat. The informative layout, with both English and Spanish notes, is welcoming, interesting and a work of genuine passion The collection is varied, with many local artists well represented, alongside a couple of 'cameo' pieces from Picasso, Miro, Gargallo, Braque, etc. No crowds, so a leisurely stroll through the three levels, each representing different styles and periods. This was a real privilege, for which we are grateful. Not to be missed.

The Cathedral dates back to the 8th century, though it was substantially rebuilt in Gothic style in the 13th and 14th centuries, with major Baroque additions in the 17th and 18th centuries. The cathedral contains many relics including pieces of the holy shroud and one of the urns which are said to have been used for the water Jesus turned into wine. As with many cathedrals, the stonemasons saved their most creative work for the cloister - no two of the stone capitals are the same, though the cloister is a little odd with a Baroque addition on top. Originally the carvings would have been painted, of which traces remain. Off of the cloister is the beautiful Chapter House with its octagonal vaulting and carved seats. One of the glories of the cathedral is the altarpiece with the images set in a gilded wooden frame and there is an extensive and fascinating museum open as part of your visit.
