An interesting morning plan in
Gijón is to visit the grandest part of the city walking through the
Plaza del Marqués until you get to
Begoña Gardens, and on your way, you can try some typical regional produce. Combine this with a couple of hours on
San Lorenzo Beach, relaxing next to the Cantabrian Sea.
TRIP Gijón - Bilbao
Spend the evening in
Bilbao wandering in
Casco Viejo, also known as the
Seven Streets. From the
Arenal Bridge, near the
Arriaga Theatre, plunge into the narrow and bustling streets of the old town of
Bilbao and walk towards
Plaza Nueva, where there are markets on some days. Afterwards, continue to
Unamuno Square and climb the hill to the
Basilica of Begoña. Make your way back down and lose yourself in
Casco Viejo's alleys where you will also spot the Gothic
Santiago Cathedral. When you get tired of walking, take a rest with some
pintxos and beers from the same area. As the evening draws on, notice the neighbourhood becoming more lively until it turns into one big party for many hours.
