Where to park in Gijón for free?

Gijón is a very nice city to walk around and it is relatively small. Thanks to this, leave the car outside the ORA zone (Parking Management and Regulation) is a very good option and, in addition, free. But if walking is not your thing, we show you the car parks closest to the center and the points of interest.

Free parking near the center

Near the West Beach have two small parking lots located in the Jose Manuel Palacio Avenue (formerly Juan Carlos I Avenue). In addition, the entire street in the central direction is free of ORA, although it is not very easy to find a space. at the beginning of the Portugal avenue and therefore, somewhat further from the center, is a larger open-air car park and normally with enough free places. If the destination is the center and old town, these would be the best places to park for free in Gijón.

Other free parking area It is the eastern part of the city. The surroundings of Molinon Stadium (on days when there is no game) and behind the Sports Palace of the Guide (except on Sundays) they are areas with a lot of free parking. The Torcuato Fernández Miranda Avenue and Paseo Dr. Fleming they are also ORA free zones. If your accommodation is in this area or in the Arena neighborhood, this would be the best place to park for free.
