Accessible Destination
More than a dozen kilometers of accessible routes discover the Gijón/Xixón open to everyone, a city that offers art, culture, gastronomy, adapted services and one of the best beaches in the country for travelers with reduced mobility.
People who travel with reduced mobility find in Gijón/Xixón a destination without barriers, with open spaces, walks without slopes and a wide range of services enabled to make discovery and rest equally pleasant and simple.
To do this, the Asturian city has drawn up four accessible routes that have detailed information about the recommended establishments and the adapted public services found in each of the areas. Each of the routes shows a side of Gijón/Xixón, from the most seafaring to the one that simultaneously discovers the pastry shops and emblematic monuments of the center of Gijón.
Also the Campa Torres Natural Archaeological Park and the Roman Villa of Veranes, in addition to other recreational spaces such as Thalasso. Beyond the four urban routes, the green paths of Gijón/Xixón also allow you to explore the most natural corners of the city and its surroundings. Of the eight existing ones, four are accessible and have a low difficulty: Senda de Poniente /El Rinconín, Peñafrancia Path, Piles River Path and La Camocha Greenway. A great opportunity to go out and explore the pastures, farmhouses, forests, river landscapes and coastal beauty of the council.
Thus, the traveler will be able to enjoy the beach by Poniente, the Marina, the Cimavilla neighborhood and the Plaza Mayor, the Paseo de Begoña or the Isabel La Católica Park. Both the routes and the information related to the accessibility of the city allow you to plan your trip comfortably and enjoy it once your stay begins, knowing in advance the accessible visits and museums, which include, for example, the Gijón/Xixón Aquarium, the football stadium El Molinón, the Atlantic Botanical Garden, he Asturias Railway Museum, Museum of the People of Asturies.
