year old former Mill in the Isabel La Católica Park, Gijón,
Asturias, Spain

The Parador
occupies hundred-year-old mill, located in the Isabel La Católica
Park, one of the most beautiful spots in the town of Gijón. It has
a beautiful pond, which offers great harmony and tranquility.
The closeness
of San Lorenzo beach and of the Cimadevilla sailors' quarter, make it into
an ideal place to enjoy unforgettable days. The hotel has a spacious, friendly
and bright interior which recreates the warmth of the setting in bedrooms
and common rooms, while the closeness of the sea can be felt from their
windows.
