The nature in Asturias is a succession of protected areas – including a national park and several natural parks – which has allowed to preserve over a third of the territory in magnificent condition and possess the best-preserved coast in Spain.
The culture in Asturias immediately conveys that it is a place with a deep-rooted identity, inhabited by people with a unique and friendly personality.
Asturias gastronomy is, due to its history, tradition, talent, and vitality, one of the most remarkable cultural and touristic attractions that exist.

Cimavilla – the old and charismatic fishermen’s quarter -, the Reina gardens, the marina, Poniente beach, San Lorenzo beach, Arbeyal beach, Corrida street, Moros street, Plaza del Instituto square and a long etcetera make up an urban Gijón/Xixón that is always open and cosmopolitan, friendly to the visitor.

The Gijón Conference Centre is different, there is no better word to describe it.
The reasons for this are for the landscaped spaces that surround it, for the light that defines its spaces, for its flexibility, for its commitment to sustainability (ISO 14.000 certified), for its location: a stone’s throw from the bay of San Lorenzo, and surrounded by hotels. And for its versatility: from 50 to 7,000 participants.
The Gijón Conference Centre is located in the “Luis Adaro” Exhibition Centre.
It boasts of differently sized pavilions (up to 5,400m2) with their own architectural personality, opening onto the streets of a space of 160,000m2; planted with landscaped areas.
The venue offers organisers of large meetings much more than a trade fair space; it´s a congress campus, an autonomous city where you can genuinely follow and enjoy the changing seasons reflected in the trees.
