Gijón or Xixón as They Write in Asturian

 

This is the view from the sitting room in the Boogalow Hostel in Gijon. It’s a beautiful hostel with a lot of services. I would stay here again!

After the hike in the rain to arrive here, I decided to take the bus to the next town, Avilés. My guidebook suggested it, saying the walk was 18 miles beside a highway and that 5 of that was through an industrial area.

When I got to Avilés I walked a few miles then went to another albergue.
