Location
This holiday will take place in Playa de Somo, Cantabria, Spain. The Playa de Somo is located within the first natural reserve of surf in Spain. Somo is one of the surf meccas in Spain and one of the surf paradises in Cantabria. It meets excellent conditions for learning and surfing with good waves all year round that is suitable for all levels. To talk about Somo beach is to talk about surfing.
The first surfboards, the first wetsuits, the first surf shop, and the first surf school in Spain were born here, and there are a great culture and tradition surfing among the local surfers. The Cántabra Surf School was created in 1991 on the beach of Somo, Cantabria. It is located in front of the beach, in front of one of the best breakers of Somo, which has more than seven kilometers with white sand and perfect “beach brakes”.
The beach of Somo is one of the referring surf spots in Cantabria. It is one of the most consistent beaches in Spain because it is oriented to the open sea and receives good waves throughout the year. What is more, if there are no waves here, you probably will not find waves all over northern Spain. This is the idyllic place for learning and practicing surfing, paddle surfing, and bodyboarding. They also have a skate park.
