GIJÓN
Geography
The municipality of Gijón has an area of 181.7 square kilometres and it is located in the centre of the wide strip Asturian seaboard. The rugged and uneven coast contrasts with the smooth relief of the interior of the municipality, with a maxim height of 672 meters (2204 feet) above sea level. Gijon is located in a privileged location in the Asturian geography, a few minutes away from Oviedo and Avilés and thirty minutes away from the Asturian Airport and from the municipalities of the coalfields. The centre of Gijón, which layout seems an amphitheatre, is marked by the large sandy area of San Lorenzo, the main beach of the town. Next to it, we can discover the renewed beaches of Poniente and El Arbeyal and the characteristic beaches of El Rinconín, Peñarrubia, Serín, La Cagonera and La Ñora, in the border with Villaviciosa.
