FORMER
MILL IN THE ISABEL LA CATÓLICA PARK
The
Parador occupies hundred-year-old mill, located in the Isabel La Católica
Park, one of the most beautiful spots in the town of Gijón. It has
a beautiful pond, which offers great harmony and tranquility. The closeness
of San Lorenzo beach and of the Cimadevilla sailors' quarter, convert it
into an ideal place to enjoy unforgettable days.
It
has a spacious, friendly and bright interior which recreates the warmth
of the setting in bedrooms and common rooms, while the closeness of the
sea can be felt from their windows.
'Fabada'
(rich stew of beans, pork, etc.) is the dining room's star dish, although
beans ('fabes') are included in other preparations. The 'caldereta de marisco'
(seafood stew), 'chopa a la sidra' (fish in cider), 'pote asturiano' (vegetable
and pork broth) and 'merluza con cocochas' (hake) also stand out. The dessert
menu includes rice pudding, 'frixuelos' (cream-filled crepes) and 'casadielles'
(fried sweet with dried fruit).
