Gijon, Asturias






Gijon, a coastal city in the northern region of Asturias, was AMAZING. it looks like Ireland or Scotland (or so i've heard...) We had the most beautiful weather. There were endless beaches, golden sand on some, and others rocky and wavy. You could walk along for miles along the cliffs and catch the views. everything was GREEN GREEN GREEN.
it was so relaxing and refreshing, one of the most beautiful places i've ever seen, and, like everywhere in spain, the people were soo friendly! we had an amazing weekend just walking along the cliffs and enjoying the beach! On saturday we had lunch on this grassy area above the sea. there were lots of people drifting around above us in hang gliders ( i think thats what they were?) it was also nice because it is not a very touristy part of spain, so we had great opportunities to speak spanish!
anyway, it was really perfect and no words will be enough...so i'll just post the pictures!! this weekend is a puente (a "bridge" which really just means its a long weekend) so we might go back to asturias!

ciao!
