	Nature of Gijón...you don´t have to go far away! Tip Rating:

Updated By Jansa on February 28, 2003

Gijón Page by Jansa

You must absolutely see San Lorenzo´s beach,and Poniente´s beach, and enjoy with the great view of the city that you can see from the Cerro de Santa Catalina, in Cimadevilla.
Of course, you shouldn´t miss the beautiful nature park in the center, near the beach of Gijón, called Isabel la Católica.
Also, there´s another park you HAVE TO visit before leaving the city. It´s called "La Providencia", and it has probably the best view over Gijón. Don´t miss it!!.

In February Gijón is well known coz it CARNAVAL. In amost all Asturia they have great ones, but one of the best is the Gijon One.

Everybody have to dress disguise. Is a crazy day... First the parade and at night you go bar and bar with wondering who is inside that disguise!!!

The party don't ends until the morning.

FIDMA from the book
"Asturias desde el Aire"

by asturnut

FIDMA- Ferria Internacional de Muestras- International Exposition and FairGrounds. It's adjacent to the Playa de San Lorenzo. They have some interesting things to see, depending on what exhibits are going on. I also remember the food being good too. I do not recall what the admission price was (but I don't think it was 'cheap'.

	Playa de San Lorenzo Tip Rating:

Gijon's biggest and most famous beach is the Playa de San Lorenzo. It's a humongous crescent shaped beach along the paseo (boardwalk of sorts) that is always teeming with people in warm weather. It's sort of a resort town/family beach kind of place. I shoud mention that even though this is a densely populated beach it is very common for women to sunbathe topless here (as it is lots of places in Europe), but this is a very family friendly beach. All along the beach are places to eat and things to do.

The beach is open from 10 to 21. There are showers, footbaths and fountains in addition to lifeguards, medics, rescue and police all stationed on or near the beach.

Stroll around the historical center and walk up to the Cerro Santa Catalina from where you´ll have a great view over the beach and the port, the city and the surrounding mountains (if the weather is nice). Then walk along the beach San Lorenzo and the promenade where there are some nice restaurants. If you like to walk continue along the promenade and go as far as you can. The landscapes and cliff formations will change along the way and there are some interesting sculptures including a sundial.
