Things to check out around El Molinon?

The stadium is situated right next to San Lorenzo Beach, a.k.a. La Playa de San Lorenzo.  Unlike tourist beaches which are usually filled with pasty British holidaymakers, esta playa is often quite quiet, even when the sun is beating down on the sand! There is no better way to pass the time – outside of the match itself – than sitting around, playing sports or swimming at the beach. If you have a couple extra days in Gijón, then be sure to spend at least one of them at the here!

The stadium is near Isabel La Católica Park, the biggest garden in the city. If you want to escape from the noise, this place is a good choice to relax for a while! If you don´t mind walking about half and hour, you can enjoy nice views of the beach while going to the city centre. Be ready to see the fantastic San Lorenzo beach on your way! This beach is the main one in Gijón. Soooo pretty!
