Museums
Great! If you're in Gijon and interested in museums, I would recommend visiting the Laboral Ciudad de la Cultura. It's a large cultural complex that includes an art museum, theater, cinema, and more. Other museums in the area you might be interested in checking out include the Museum of the Asturian People and the Evaristo Valle Museum.
Food
Sure! In Gijon, some of the most recommended, popular, and typical dishes according to local people are:
1. Fabada Asturiana: A hearty stew made with large white beans, various meats (such as chorizo, morcilla, and pork belly), and vegetables.
2. Cachopo: A breaded and fried meat dish typically served with ham and cheese between two thin slices of beef or veal.
3. Sidra (Cider): The region is known for its cider production, and it's a popular drink in Gijon. It's typically poured from a height into a glass to help aerate it, and it's often served alongside small snacks called 'pinchos'.
4. Frixuelos: Similar to crêpes or pancakes, these are thin, sweet pastries usually filled with cream.
5. Arroz con leche: Rice pudding made with milk and sugar, flavored with cinnamon and lemon zest.
I hope this helps you find some delicious local cuisine to try in Gijon!
