With some terrific day trip options available in the surrounding area, having your own car makes sense. Without one, it’d be much harder to explore all that Villaviciosa, 16 miles away, has to offer. See the sights beginning with Playa España, Monastery of Valdedios and Church of San Juan de Amandi. Gijon is another terrific option. It’s 19 miles away and home to a range of awesome things to see and do. San Lorenzo Beach, Cimadevilla and Aquarium of Gijon are just the start.
