Description
The Hotel is a century-old mill located in Isabel la Católica Park, one of the city of Gijón’s most beautiful spots. There is a pretty lake lending the space a great sense of harmony and tranquillity. Its proximity to San Lorenzo beach and Cimadevilla sailor’s quarter make it an ideal spot to enjoy unforgettable days.
There is a large, bright, welcoming interior recreating the setting’s warmth in the rooms and spaces, whilst the windows offer a sense of the nearby ocean. Fabada stew is the top fare in the dining room, although beans come in other dishes. The seafood stew, black sea bream in cider, Asturian stew and hake are also a highlight. Rice pudding, frixuelos (cream-filled crepes) and casadielles (pastries with walnut paste) are part of the Hotel’s dessert selection.

Restaurant
Do not leave the Parador without tasting a good fabada. It is its main dish. I also recommend you to taste the Crab cream, hake prepared with hard cider, Asturian-style beef sirloin with a cabrales blue cheese sauce, and a selection of cheeses from Austurias.
