If you want to feel the spirit of this Spanish region and enjoy its stunning nature, book several nights in a casa rural. It is a traditional house in a village or in the middle of nature that now serves as a guest house. There you can meet with locals, try their traditional food and fully immerse into the culture of Asturias.

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.
