Gijon/Oveido

[madamevicki]

Hello everyone!
On May 9th we're flying in to Asturias airport, on our way to O Cebreiro to start our pilgrimage. I've heard the best thing to do is take the bus to Piedrafita and walk to O Cebreiro from there.
Now we arrive late and the bus goes the next morning so should we stay in Oveido or Gijon - where does the airport bus go to? Can anyone recommend somewhere to stay that's cheap and not too far from the bus station in either Gijon or Oveido?

Many Thanks,

Vicki

Stay in Oviedo. There is much to see there relating to the history of the camino if you have the time.
