Many surf fans make the ‘surfer’s pilgrimage’ to the Atlantic coast, seeking out the legendary waves of the Cantabrian Sea.
Surfers from all around the world come to Galicia, Asturias, Cantabria and the Basque Country every year in search of the most famous waves of the surfing world. What’s more, these legendary waves are not just for surfing experts; surfing is a sport that everyone can enjoy.
There are many surf schools throughour Spain which offer courses for absolute beginners, and which offer kit and boards for hire at a modest price. In the last few years, surfing has really taken off in the Basque Country.
Many surf enthusiasts consider the coastline between Biarritz and Bilbao to be the best in Spain, and possibly even in Europe. The Basque country also boasts Mundaka beach, legendary among surfing enthusiasts for its “famous wave”. Your summer could be all planned out for you! What are you waiting for?
