Spain's driving norms can be different from the UK. In Spain, it's right hand driving, and the steering wheel is on the left. Roundabouts follow a priority to the right rule. Spanish drivers are known for their expressive driving style, so anticipate lively road interactions!
Fuel costs are lower in Spain than in the UK, making it favourable to hire larger cars. Compact classes are fine for city driving but consider something roomy if you plan to explore Asturias province further.
Public transportation is reliable, but a rental car offers greater flexibility and potential for exploration. With it, you can easily visit neighbouring cities like Oviedo and Avilés or spend a day on the pristine Playa de Rodiles beach.
Gijon streets can get busy, particularly in the city centre, but are well-managed. Parking spots are more scarce here, so plan ahead. Secure public parking lots at reasonable rates are available throughout the city.
Start exploring from Cimavilla, the historic district, then drive along the coast to the Elogio del Horizonte statue. Route AS-8 gives you excellent views of local landscapes. Or venture into the serene Parque de Isabel la Católica park -- an oasis within city limits.
Spain's currency is the Euro, different from the Pound sterling in the UK. Credit and debit cards are widely accepted. Weather in Gijon is milder than the UK with summer temperatures ranging between 20-25°C.
A journey to Gijon unearths treasures at every bend. So, whichever route you take, know that your journey will be as remarkable as your destination. Here's to your unforgettable Spanish road trip!
