Surfari
No matter whether you're a complete beginner looking to discover the thrill of surfing, a keen traveller after a fun and original way to explore this enchanting, lesser known part of Spain or if you're a fully fledged surfer out to raid the veritable surfing treasure pot this fantastic coastline has to offer, we assure that you're going to love this 7 day surfing odyssey with Surf-Atlantico.
Unlike many other surfing holidays that are based at just one beach, this very special adventure covers almost 1000km of coastline as it hops from one superb surf-break to the next on a seamless ocean road journey via the endless pristine bays and beaches, quaint pebble-stone towns and vibrant seaside villages that lay en-route to sea-side culture capital San Sebastian. A holiday is a precious thing and so that you can make the absolute most of your time here, in between surf-sessions we'll be sure to take time out to discover not just the coastline, but also the unique local charm, culture and tasty cuisine of each of the three distinct regions we pass through.
Highlights of the week include tonnes of fantastic surf sessions, world famous river mouth waves at Mundaka and Rodiles, trying out the traditional cider (and it's very unusual pouring method) in the Asturian fishing village of Ribadesella, enjoying beach games or sunbathing 'siestas' on the beach, lazily wandering the medieval cobbled streets of Santillana del Mar, chatting with new found friends at our delicious sunset barbeque party in Cantabria and last but not least, surfing and/or shopping followed by drinks and the world's best 'pinxos' (tapas) in the vibrant city of San Sebastián.
Beginners benefit from daily classes of quality surf tuition from a qualified NARS beach lifeguard and English-speaking instructors with all materials included in the price. Intermediates will be able to improve their wave-riding skills at any number of breaks, perfect for quick progression. For advanced surfers the opportunities to practice your skills are open and endless. With world-class breaks such as Rodiles, Los Locos and Mundaka you can pitch yourself alongside some of the best surfers in Europe.
All transport, transfers, accommodation, breakfasts, board, wetsuit and surf materials are included. We also have a professional photographer with us for the duration of your trip, capturing all the action for you both in and out of the water.
This adventure really does take you further than any other and enables you to explore this little known, and outstandingly beautiful, area of the world.
