Rent a car to feel more freedom and stop whenever your soul wants to enjoy countryside villages, beaches, and coasts. The region is really small, and many of the towns worth visiting are only 30 km away from one another. Moreover, you can get from the airport to the beach and into the mountains in less than 2 hours, so travelling by car won’t take a lot of time. Be aware of the new speed limits in Spain that came into effect in 2021. According to them, roads in Spain with one lane in each direction go from having a general speed limit of 50 km/hour to a maximum of 30 km/h.

Elogio del Horizonte means “In Praise of the Horizon”, and this monument has become a symbol of Gijón. It rests on the edge of the Santa Catalina Park and Batería de Santa Catalina overlooking the coast of Northern Spain and the Bay of Biscay. When you get a chance to take a photo there, be sure to enjoy it from inside the monument as it was designed for this purpose.

Enjoy the fantastic historical exhibit of Spanish paintings featuring artists from the area. The extensive include 12 Apostles by El Greco and several works by Sorolla, Velasquez, Murillo, Picasso, and other European masters such as Rubens and Veronese. Note that the collection is in 2 buildings and is only connected on the 2nd floor. So it’s better to enter the building on the side street just to the right in front of the cathedral to see the early art. Cross over to the new building on the 2nd floor. If you enter the new building on the right corner of the Square in front of the cathedral, you will not miss the old building.
