No trip to Gijón is complete without indulging in the local cuisine. The city is known for its delicious seafood, so make sure to try dishes like fabada asturiana (a hearty bean stew), cachopo (a breaded and fried meat dish), and sidra (traditional Asturian cider). Head to the Cimavilla neighborhood, where you'll find numerous traditional cider houses and seafood restaurants. Don't forget to sample some local cheeses and desserts like frixuelos (Asturian crepes) and casadielles (a type of pastry filled with nuts and sugar).
