Walker Insight

For pilgrims who have been walking the Camino del Norte for several days or weeks and are ready for a genuine recovery stop in Gijón, Abba Playa is hard to beat. The combination of a fitness centre, sauna, hot tub, Turkish bath, and massage treatments means tired legs and stiff muscles can be properly attended to — and the outdoor pool with sun terrace is a restorative bonus.

Gijón’s San Lorenzo Beach is one of the finest urban beaches in northern Spain — a long golden arc stretching along the bay, perfect for an evening stroll after check-in. The Cimadevilla old town, with its Romanesque churches, Roman baths, and cider bars, is a short walk away. The Jovellanos Museum, the Aquarium, and the Bagpipe Museum are all within easy reach.
