Can anyone recommend a nice area to look for an apartment in Gijon?

Question

I am moving to Gijon later in the year with my wife and 2 kids, with the older one only being 2, and would love to receive advice on which areas to look for apartments to rent. This is not a holiday but a permanent move and would like to live somewhere with open spaces nearby and possibly a bit arty. Having 2 young kids we don't want anywhere too lively and having all 3 might not be possible. We are English but answers can be in Spanish.

Answer 1

I've never lived in Gijon but have visited often. It is a beautiful city with a little bit of everything. The beach is fantastic the mountains are all around and there is culture and life teeming from all the streets and avenues!

If it were me, I would move the the old part of the city. This to me is always filled with charm and a lot of culture. There is always lots of activity though so it might not be quiet (with the little ones).

I think it would be a good start to contact a local tourist office and ask about the different districts. I have included their info below.

I wish I could be of more help here but I figured since you hadn't gotten any answers yet I'd at list give you what I have!

Buena suerte en Xixon (asturian way of saying Gijon)!
