Wind through Gijón's city centre, along the seafront and up the hill to the La Providencia viewpoint to take in wonderful panoramic views across the sea towards the city. Continue past the magnificent Laboral University – reckoned to be Spain's largest building – and on to Isabel la Católica Park, one of the most peaceful areas of the city, where you can take a leisurely stroll and discover a variety of bird species. Enjoy traditional tapas and a refreshing drink at the luxury Parador de Gijón hotel, which is built on the ruins of an old mill in the park.
