Accomodation

Gijón

We recommend you stay in Gijón because it's closer and because it's a city with many amenities (and our home 😊). It takes barely 15min by car to reach La Hacienda de la Llorea (from the city center), around 16€ by taxi.

Though it's a smaller, walkable city, there are many options to stay depending on your priorities. Like:

• Close to free public parking (in the El Molinón stadium): Hotel Zentral Gijón Rey Pelayo, Parador de Gijón (old restored watermill)…
• Close to the bus and train stations: Hotel Silken Ciudad Gijón, NUMA Hotel Boutique… — Close to the beach: NH Gijón, abba Playa Gijón Hotel, Hotel Príncipe de Asturias…

Urban transport

City buses don't get you to the Hacienda, but using them to move inside the town is very convenient—you can pay on the spot by cash or card.

PLEASE NOTE: Google Maps app is not very precise for city buses, so we recommend you download Gijón EMTUSA (Android / iOS), the company app, where you can check maps, lines and timetables.

Villaviciosa

That said, the venue is also close to Villaviciosa, a small quiet town with some presence of Holy Week traditions, for those that may be interested in the processions typical of those dates. Both the distance by car and the price of a taxi to La Hacienda are similar to Gijón: 15min and 15-20€.

In the tourism website for Villaviciosa you can find a list of hotels in the municipality.

Close to the venue

Close to the venue you can find Hotel OCA Palacio de La Llorea & SPA **** (with direct walking access) and Hotel ARTIEM Asturias *****, a couple minutes away. A bit more convenient but perhaps more expensive.

Alternative accomodation

Since La Hacienda is close to the rural center of the municipalities for both Gijón and Villaviciosa, there's some cottages in the vicinity. We recommend this option only if you come in your own car and you look for something a bit more peaceful, since transport is slightly more complex.

In the suburbia of Gijón you can also find what's called Viviendas Vacacionales which, in many cases, same as cottages, are a good option for bigger groups.

How to get here

Gijón is a municipality in the Autonomous Community of Asturias, in northern Spain. It is famous for its greenful landscapes and geography, that allow you to move from the sea to the mountains in an hour. In its natural environments you can practice open air sports and enjoy unique food and traditions. It is very similar in customs and lifestyle to Galicia, Jorge's homeland 😊

It's a 40 minutes ride to Gijón by car, though you can also get there by:

• Cars hires from many brands

You can use them across Asturias and pick/leave them in some areas such as the airport or the city center of some towns (like Gijón). You need an account to use it, which is free, but sign up well in advance, as you need to scan your driving license for manual validation before hiring your first car. You can book them in advance or pick them up on the fly, if they are available. You usually pay by the kilometer.
