The 7 best surfing regions in Spain
1. Canary Islands
One of the top destinations for surfing holidays in Spain is definitely the Canary Islands. While many other destinations get colder in the winter months, the Canary Islands enjoy summer temperatures and a pleasantly mild climate all year round. The water temperatures also remain around 20 degrees in winter, which means that nothing stands in the way of a bathing or surfing holiday. In general, the Canary Islands are the perfect holiday destination for almost every target group: There are many flight connections from several European countries, you can find accommodation for every budget and leisure activities for families, couples, groups, singles, whether you are looking for peace and quiet or an active holiday, there are no limits!a. The best surf spots on the Canary Islands
Fuerteventura
Fuerteventura is the second largest Canary Island with around 346 days of sunshine per year. It will win you over with its perfect waves, turquoise waters and white beaches, and is sure to keep you coming back. Fuerteventura offers plenty of fantastic surf beaches, whose gentle beach breaks are particularly suitable for learning to surf. Even though it is often very windy on Fuerteventura, a surfing holiday on the popular holiday island is an absolute must for both surfing beginners, e.g. at Waveguru Surfcamp, and advanced surfers, e.g. at Planet Surfcamps. Escape the grey winter days, enjoy the fresh spring air just after a few hours of flying and plunge into your next surfing adventure!
Lanzarote
Lanzarote, the northernmost island of the Canary Islands, is a little less touristy than Fuerteventura and therefore feels very authentic. The best surfing conditions here are between September and January. Lanzarote is mainly recommended for experienced surfers, but beginners are also in perfect hands in the small fishing village of Famara, where you can find the RED STAR Surfcamp and Kaboti Surf, among others. The surf beach is about 3 km long and offers plenty of beach and reef breaks for surfers of all levels. Beyond surfing, Lanzarote is especially interesting for wine lovers as grapevines are cultivated there in a unique way and you can indulge in countless wine tastings.
Tenerife
Tenerife is the largest of the Canary Islands and is characterised above all by the dormant volcano El Teide, located in the interior of the island, which is also the highest mountain in Spain. In the national park of the same name, there are unique landscapes and wonderful hiking routes to discover. Tenerife is also perfect for bathing and surfing holidays, both in the green north of the island and in the south, which is warm all year round. In the north, for example, you will find the Atlantik Surf, which will always take you to the best surf spots depending on the weather conditions. Surfing enthusiasts of all levels are also welcome at the Ika Ika Surfcamp in the south. One thing is guaranteed on the beautiful island of Tenerife: It will never be boring here due to the wide range of entertainment options!
Gran Canaria
Last but not least, unforgettable surf adventures await you on the island of Gran Canaria. While the south is very touristy and more interesting for package holidaymakers, a very special atmosphere awaits you in the northwest. There you will find the capital Las Palmas, which is characterised by its lively city beach Playa de Las Canteras, where locals and tourists meet. In the immediate vicinity is, for example, the La Ventana Azul Surfhouse, which offers a fantastic view of the sea. If you prefer something quieter, El Altillo House in the north of the island is the place to be. Whether it's the hustle and bustle of the city or a relaxing holiday, Gran Canaria has a very special flair that should not be missed.

2. Basque Country
In the north of Spain, directly on the French border, is the Spanish part of the Basque Country, also called País Vasco. Even though the region is one of the most densely populated regions in the country, mass tourism has not taken hold here and the region is more popular with individual travellers. Above all, the excellent cuisine of the Basque Country attracts numerous visitors every year and in places like San Sebastian there is a large density of world-class restaurants that prepare both traditional and international dishes. The surrounding nature, characterised by fascinating mountains with numerous hiking trails, also attracts many nature enthusiasts to the region. But the coast is also a true natural spectacle. Whether small traditional fishing villages or large cities, many destinations have a special charm and at the same time first-class beach sections. These not only offer sun worshippers an influx, but are also popular with surfers due to the excellent surfing conditions. Numerous beach breaks can be found here and can be mastered by beginners as well as experienced surfers. The Bay of Biscay in particular influences the water temperatures locally and warms the Atlantic on the coast by up to 22°C under the right conditions. With a bit of luck, you can leave your wetsuit at home and jump into the waves without it.a. The best surf spots in the Basque Country
Zarautz
Zarautz, with its long stretch of beach, is located on the Bay of Biscay and therefore has wonderful water temperatures. The long beach, which is separated by cliffs, is a real attraction of the town. Along the beach on the promenade, there are numerous cafés, restaurants and bars which offer pleasant leisure activities. Many surfers are also attracted to the town every year because of the good surfing conditions. In addition, an important surfing competition is held every year which is directly linked to the world championships. Thus, professionals can also be admired here.
The Goodpeople Surf Camp and the Stoke Travel Camp are located in Zarautz. The Goodpeople Surf Camp is located on the edge of the Talai Mendi campsite. It is only a few minutes' walk from here to the Atlantic Ocean and you can jump straight into the waves. From the rooms you can already watch the waves and enjoy the wonderful view of the coast. The camp has many facilities that invite you to relax after surfing. A large communal tent, sun terrace and hammocks are ideal places to relax a bit and at the same time exchange ideas with the other guests. Nevertheless, you can also continue to work out on the camp's own miniramp or on longboard excursions and at the same time explore the surroundings, because there is a lot to see here. In this environment, in the middle of the nature of the Pagoeta Nature Reserve, is the Stoke Travel Camp. Not far from San Sebastian, but still in the middle of nature, this camp offers relaxation and adventure at the same time. In the middle of nature, you can retreat and relax here or plunge into the hustle and bustle of San Sebastian in just a few minutes' drive and spend exciting days here. Those who want a little more adventure and to explore numerous surf spots in the Basque Country can also take part in the Van Surfari Spain & France. This is organised by Stoke Travel and starts in San Sebastian. Every day, depending on the conditions, you go to the best spots on the coast, whether in Spain or France, and can gain a lot of experience in the waves. At the same time you can discover many new places as the tents are pitched in camps in the evenings. Together in the group you decide on the evening plans before heading out again after a restful night's sleep.
Ibarrangelu
Ibarrangelu is one of the most beautiful places on the Bizkaia coast. With its dunes and large soft beach it attracts many visitors every year. But not only the beach is a highlight of the place, also the historical importance in the centre of the village is clearly noticeable. In addition, the village is very much connected to agriculture, which can also be seen in the atmosphere and architecture of this village. Nevertheless, the biosphere reserve offers unique nature which can be explored during the stay.
Located in Ibarrangelu, in the middle of the Urdaibai Biosphere Reserve, is the Laga Surfcamp. The surf camp offers lessons and accommodation for adults as well as children and teenagers aged 10 to 17. There are two accommodation options here: If you want to be close to nature, you can pitch your tent in the specially separated area, or you can find accommodation in the camp's own farmhouse. Different levels of surfing lessons are offered here which take place on the beaches of Laga and Laida-Mundaka. The waves at these locations are known as some of the best in the country and thus attract many surfers. After the surf lessons you can spend your free time at the camp with the other campers.
Gorliz & Barrika
Gorliz beach is a very popular destination. An almost 1 km long sandy beach can be found here. In addition, a little further into the sea there are two stone slabs which young people like to use as sunbeds. The beach at Barrika is also very popular, especially with surfers. Nevertheless, this section is very much influenced by the tides and at high tide there is little beach for sunbathing. The proximity to Bilbao also makes these places special. Bilbao is the capital of the Bizkaia region. Especially the Guggenheims Museum with its unique architecture has had a great influence on the city and has since given the place a modern and at the same time historical flair. Especially in the old town there are many unique historical buildings. Many restaurants and bars are located here, bringing hustle and bustle to the neighbourhood. Basque cuisine can also be enjoyed wonderfully here. But Bilbao does not miss out on nature either: Numerous parks are located in the city and offer wonderful opportunities for time out. Thus, a stay in Gorliz in combination with Bilbao is a perfect balance as you can easily switch between relaxation and excitement.
The Wellentime surf camp is located in Gorliz, not far from the metropolis of Bilbao. With different accommodation options, everyone will find the perfect accommodation for their interest and budget. Whether in a country house, hostel, campsite or bungalow, you are sure to find the right place for you. The bungalows are particularly suitable for groups or families, as they offer space for 4-6 people. From June to October, you can plunge into the waters of the Atlantic with daily surf lessons and explore the surrounding area with its great atmosphere in the evenings.
The Barrika Surfcamp, located in the village of the same name, offers a quiet and relaxed surfing stay. There is room for a maximum of 26 people at any one time. The house is divided into 2 floors, with rooms with private bathrooms on the ground floor which are perfect for families, couples or groups. Due to the limited number of rooms, there is quickly a family atmosphere here and you can end the days together after surfing. Even outside of the surf lessons, you can continue to work on your skills and improve your techniques with skating, slacklining or similar activities. Children between the ages of 12 and 17 can also experience their surfing adventure here as special children's surf packages are available. A maximum of 20 children can spend their holiday at the same time and there will be a supervisor on site who is available 24 hours a day.
Sopelana
Sopelana, often just called Sopela, has one of the most beautiful coastlines in the Basque Country. Unique nature surrounds the soft beaches here. In addition, the place has not only wonderful mountain bike and hiking trails, but also many activities that make the heart of adrenaline junkies beat faster. Whether paragliding, various water sports activities or climbing courses, there is a lot to experience here and brings pure adventure. There is also a nudist area in this part of the coast. Especially the annual nudist race has become a highlight of the place and attracts many onlookers.

In Sopelana is the Moana surf camp, which is suitable not only for adults but also for children and teenagers. The accommodation is a modernised and converted farm and thus offers a unique type of accommodation. The surf lessons take place in small groups which are divided according to level and age.

3. Cantabria
In the north of Spain, between the Basque Country and Asturias, is the region of Cantabria. Especially the unique mixture of nature and landscapes makes this region a special place. Green nature, high mountains, cliffs and wonderful beaches characterise this landscape and attract a large number of visitors. Especially during the summer months Cantabria is a popular destination as there is little rainfall and it can get very warm on the beaches. Nevertheless, this is also the time of year for most travellers so that popular beach areas and towns can quickly become crowded. This is not a problem, however, as there are many hidden places to explore which are far from the crowds. There are over 6000 caves in the region and this is just one example of the spectacular places that can be explored locally. The wonderful surfing conditions and leisure activities in the surrounding nature also attract many surfers and sports enthusiasts every year.

7. Balearic Islands
The Balearic Islands are at the top of the list of most popular holiday destinations, especially among Germans, and are particularly appreciated by party lovers. But beyond the party image, the Balearic Islands of Mallorca, Menorca, Ibiza, Formentera and Cabrera also have gorgeous beaches, picturesque coastlines and mountainous landscapes to offer. In addition to the wonderful surf spots on the Spanish mainland and the Canary Islands, there is also the opportunity to let off steam with surfing and other water sports activities. Due to the countless flight connections, even from many smaller cities, the journey from European countries is very uncomplicated and flight tickets can often be obtained for little money.
a. The best surf spots on the Balearic Islands
If you want to spend a surfing holiday on Mallorca and prefer to explore the island in the quieter low season, BonaOna is the place to be. During the wave season from September to April, lessons in surfing, windsurfing, kitesurfing, body board and SUP are offered for both adults and children, whether beginners or advanced. BonaOna also has a bar, which, like the surf school, is located directly on the beach in Can Pastilla. From there you can enjoy a breathtaking view over the bay of Playa de Palma and relax after surfing. On the neighbouring island of Ibiza is Paddle Surf Spain, which specialises in SUP (Stand Up Paddling) and offers very special courses and tours. On the SUP boards you can not only explore the beautiful island, but also take yoga, Pilates and other fitness courses. Furthermore, Paddle Surf Spain scores with its ideal location: In just a few minutes' walk, you can reach the magical centre of Ibiza, where there are many different bars, restaurants and shops to discover. The surrounding beaches, such as Cala Nova and Cala Llenya, which are among the most beautiful on the north-east coast, are also in the immediate vicinity of the SUP school.
