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).
