Parador De Gijon
FORMER MILL IN THE ISABEL LA CATÓLICA PARK
The Parador occupies an old hundred-year-old mill, located in the Isabel
la Católica Park, one of the most beautiful spots of the town of Gijón.
It has a beautiful pond, which offers this space great harmony and
tranquillity. The closeness of San Lorenzo beach, and of the Cimadevilla
sailors' quarter, convert it into an ideal place to enjoy unforgettable
days. It has a spacious, friendly and bright interior which recreates the
warmth of the setting in bedrooms and common rooms, while the close
presence of the sea is sensed from their windows. "Fabada" (rich stew of
beans, pork, etc.) is the most famous dish of the dining room, although
beans ("fabes") are included in other preparations. The "caldereta de
marisco" (seafood stew), "chopa a la sidra" (fish in cider), "pote
asturiano" (vegetable and pork broth) and "merluza con cocochas" (hake)
also stand out. The dessert menu of the Parador includes rice pudding,
"frixuelos" (cream filled wafers) and "casadielles" (fried sweet with
dried fruit).
