La Arena
La Arena's stunning San Lorenzo Beach stretches along Gijon's coastline with a palm-lined promenade perfect for people-watching.

The dramatic Cerro de Santa Catalina headland rises at the beach's eastern end, crowned by Eduardo Chillida's epic sculpture that perfectly frames those endless ocean views. Beachfront restaurants serve fresh seafood and Asturian specialities like fabada and traditional cider poured in that distinctive long-pour style. A mix of hotels and holiday rentals line the shore, with sea-view rooms that are worth every penny. City buses connect easily to Gijon's centre, but honestly, the beachfront promenade is so walkable you might never need them.

"Good size room and friendly staff. A bit odd having the toilet a hallway away from the shower and the room could use a mini fridge. But good value for a good plave"
"Ideally located, equal distance from the beach and the centre of town. Free parking in the hotel grounds and the area around the hotel is non threatening and friendly. Perfect location!"
Hotel Faranda Pathos Gijon, Ascend Hotel Collection
10/10 Excellent
"Small room, but that's Europe in general. The staff was very friendly and spoke a few words of English, which was helpful. Biggest thing was location. Right in the middle of everything and 1 block to the beach."
