Gijon Cruises, Spain

Discover cider and Spain's Celtic roots

On Spain’s rugged northern coast, Gijón is both an industrial port and a dynamic cultural hub, set in the heart of Asturias—a region with deep Celtic roots. Overlooking the Bay of Biscay, the city offers sweeping views from the Santa Catalina headland and long promenades along San Lorenzo Beach. Wander through the old fishing quarter of Cimavilla, where colourful houses and lively sidrerías serve the region’s famous cider, or explore nearby coastal and historic towns. The atmospheric Old Town of Avilés enchants with medieval streets, plazas and distinctive architecture, while Luanco, a traditional fishing village, showcases authentic Asturian maritime life and excellent seafood.

Inland, the elegant city of Oviedo reveals a medieval quarter crowned by a UNESCO‑listed Gothic cathedral and landmark squares, and deeper into the mountains the Covadonga Sanctuary offers a dramatic spiritual site nestled among the peaks of the Picos de Europa. History fans will also appreciate the Roman Bridge at Cangas de Onís, an enduring symbol of Asturian heritage. From coastal walks to mountain landscapes and rich traditions, Gijón is the ideal springboard for discovering northern Spain.
