The city of Gijón –Xixón, in Asturian– is located right on the centre of the southern shores of the Bay of Biscay, known as the Cantabrian Coast. Thanks to its privileged location, Gijón/Xixón has become heir to a rich archaeological heritage, in addition to an old quarter –Cimavilla, the old fishing quarter– full of unique buildings and quaint lanes.

Gijón/Xixón is also a modern-day city that has known how to combine leisure, culture, heritage, nature and well-being perfectly. Its picturesque marina, its promenade bursting with life and its magnificent urban and rural beaches make Gijón/Xixón a city staunchly committed to an ocean that permeates its character and traditions and offers up top quality gastronomic produce.

Capital of the Costa Verde or Green Coast, Gijón is well linked via Asturias Airport (with direct flights from London’s three major airports –Heathrow, Gatwick and Stansted– and from other cities, via Madrid, Barcelona, Paris or Lisbon).

Don’t hesitate… come and discover Gijon. Northern Spain with Zest!
