Travel & Hotels

The fastest way to get to Gijon is flying into Madrid Barajas International Airport and taking a connecting flight to Asturias Airport (Oviedo). From Oviedo, options to get to Gijon include; a rental car, coach bus (Alsa), or cab service. Another option includes renting a car from Madrid and taking the scenic drive through Sierra De Guaderrama & Los Picos De Europa which will take approximately 4.5 hours. We have done this in the past and it is really quite an easy drive and a great way to see the Spanish landscape. We have listed a few hotel options including; the Abba (where we will be staying the night of the wedding). The most affordable option tends to be renting an airBnb. Your best bet is to book something close to Playa San Lorenzo. We will be providing shuttle services for the wedding events from several locations around there. *Please check your passports! Passports must be valid for six months beyond the date the traveler will exit the United States*

The cheapest option in the area is Airbnb, especially if you plan on booking accommodations with multiple people. Please try to be as close to Playa San Lorenzo as possible as we will have several shuttle pick up locations in the area for our wedding events just outside of the city center.

Travel Note

Alsa Bus Service

Daily bus departures from the airport between 6:00 am and 12:00 am, approximately every hour. Check the exact times on the Alsa website or call their information number. These times may be delayed by up to 15 minutes if information about an arriving flight appears on the information panel when the bus is due to leave. This bus makes two stops - Oviedo & Gijon. Costs 9 Euros and drops you off very close to the beach which is where all the hotels will be.
