Gijón is located in the northern Spanish region of Asturias. It is a picturesque harbourside town steeped in Roman history but with all the elegant charm of a modern beach resort. You can easily explore the beauty and history of this town on foot. It is close enough to other towns such as Oviedo (to the south) to allow for interesting day trips. If you love the sea, Gijón has its well-known Playa de San Lorenzo, a panoramic golden beachfront on the clear waters of the Cantabrian Sea.
