If surfing is your thing, then you need to go near Santander or down by Cadiz. It isn't likely to find any surfing on the Med. Coasts.聽 We are a family of 4 but help many retirees too with the information in our blog.聽 have a check and see if anything strikes you.聽 the home page is a link to "move to Spain" section.聽聽You can just use your search to find Wagoners Abroad.

Hi,
I surf too...all northern coast of Spain is plenty of spots. Basque Country has been always my favourite destination.
I'm from Mediterranean and I can tell you it also offers good waves...but unconsistent swells and mostly on winter season, on the other hand, few people in the water (so far).

Canarian Islands is a paradise for surfing and good weather all year long.
