Three of the largest and most charming cities of the country can be found here, all within 20 kms of each other Aviles,Oviedo and Gijon. These vibrant, modern cities are a great place to visit on any holiday in Asturias, because they offer a wonderful combination of contemporary city living, yet firmly rooted in tradition and very protective of their past and historical sites.
Whilst Asturias is a picture postcard rural paradise, it also boasts some fine city life. Gijon is the largest city in the Asturian Principality. An exciting, vibrant city on the Atlantic Ocean. Gijon has an elegant shopping centre, some wonderful architecture plus excellent eating and drinking.
Gijon is only 30 minutes from Asturias Airport and now has fantastic new motorway links with the rest of the region. You can literally be in the depths of the countryside and half an hour later be sipping a cocktail, sitting in a stylish bar, gazing out over the Atlantic!
