Description

In Cabo Torres, seven kilometres from the centre of Gijón, you’ll find the Campa Torres Archaeological-Natural Park. Campa Torres is a good place to see karimetso, muuttohaukka, the passage of seabirds like suula, and from a distance some birds settled in the enclosed outer zone of the port.
