Gijón’s neighbourhoods range from the medieval fishing quarter of Cimadevilla to the wide boulevards of La Arena and the leafy suburban streets of Somió. The city is compact enough that you can walk between most areas in under 30 minutes, but each district has a distinct character that affects where you should stay, eat, and spend your time. Here is the neighborhood-by-neighbourhood breakdown. For more on this, see the best time to visit Gijón guide.
