An afternoon and a night, told by the light. This is how a wedding day unfolds at the Palacio de la Concepción, calculated for a real date.

The gardens make room for it: in the house’s own photographs, chairs on the lawn, an arch of flowers and the city in the distance.

Served on the terrace, the bay of Gijón before you and the reddening tones of the sunset over the sea. The kitchen is Deloya Gastronomía’s, the palace’s exclusive caterer.
“The location, with a spectacular panorama of Gijón, makes the event unique.”
