Gijón keeps street parking simple and honest: the ORA blue zone charges about €0.85/hour, Monday–Friday 9:00–14:00 and 16:00–20:00 plus Saturday mornings — lunchtimes, evenings, Saturday afternoons and all Sunday are free. Add the beach-side lots and Cimadevilla's pedestrian old town, and Asturias' biggest city is an easy park. The 2026 guide.

Where to Park for What

  • San Lorenzo beach: the paseo bays go early in summer — arrive before 11:00 or use the Fomento/El Molinón-side lots
  • Cimadevilla (old town): pedestrian headland — park at the marina garages and walk up
  • Centre shopping: ORA bays work for short stops; underground garages (San Miguel, Begona area) for half days
  • Free long stays: around El Molinón stadium and the Universidad Laboral side, 15–20 min walk or short bus
Sidra district by night: after 20:00 the whole street grid is free — perfect timing for a cider-house crawl on Calle Gascona.
Sporting match days: El Molinón's free-parking area becomes matchday chaos — use the centre garages on home Sundays.
