Walker Insight

Hotel Asturias is one of Gijón’s most characterful places to stay — a proper old-town hotel on the historic Plaza Mayor, in a listed building with a genuine connection to Spanish cultural history. Waking up to a balcony view over the plaza or out toward the sea, in the heart of Gijón’s ancient Cimadevilla quarter, is an experience that goes well beyond just finding a bed for the night.

Rated 9.5 out of 10 for location by solo travellers, the hotel is essentially at the intersection of everything Gijón has to offer pilgrims: the Camino route, the marina, San Lorenzo Beach, the Roman baths, the cider bars, and the Cerro de Santa Catalina viewpoint are all within a minute or two on foot.
