Walker Insight

There are few better ways to start the day on the Camino del Norte than breakfast with a sea view, and Hotel Príncipe de Asturias in Gijon delivers exactly that — with San Lorenzo Bay spread out before the breakfast room every morning.

Parque Isabel la Católica — a fine Asturian park with gardens, a lake, and walking paths — is 5 minutes away, and Gijón’s Roman Baths, old town, and Bagpipe Museum are all within a 15-minute walk.
