Hello all,

Any recommendations on a good place to stay in Gijon? I’ll be walking in there tomorrow and have just noticed the negative buzz around the albergue and have decided not to stay there.

I’m not overly fussy, but I’d ideally like to find somewhere that’s convenient to the Camino route through the city. Other than that, as long as the bed works and the door locks, I’m not overly bothered!

Thanks in advance,

Mark

Down bag (90/10 duvet) of 700 fills with 180 g (6.34 ounces) of filling. Mummy-shaped structure, ideal when you are looking for lightness with great heating performance.

€149,-
Parador de Gijon
Thanks for the suggestion. Ended up booking La Polar. Pilgrim discount and they claim to be on the path. I guess I’ll find out later!
 
Technical backpack for day trips with backpack cover and internal compartment for the hydration bladder. Ideal daypack for excursions where we need a medium capacity backpack. The back with Air Flow System creates large air channels that will keep our back as cool as possible.

€83,-
