Here is where the first Spanish national park is located, along with some of Europe's most rare wildlife, such as the Iberian brown bear and the Asturcon, a shaggy wild horse so small that it would be more fitting to call it a wild pony. The very name of this summer resort offers a clue to its character. Spelled with a "g" and a "j" yet with both pronounced as an "h" ("hee-hohn,"), Gijón at first appears simple and straightforward, but upon closer inspection is a little more complex.
