San Lorenzo Beach

The beach of San Lorenzo, located to the east of Cimadevilla is another of the symbols of Gijón. Its Escalerona, the best known of the multiple stairs that allow access to the sand, tries to simulate a liner, with the control bridge, the chimney and the clock. There is board walk that extends along the beach, and it is called Paseo del Muro de San Lorenzo. It’s is an ideal place to walk or to stop for a drink, and ice cream or for food since you’ll find plenty of restaurants and shops. © iStock/Marino Esteban Marron Riesgo
