Windsurfing and surfing on the northern coast of Spain

If your plan is to surf waves, the perfect destination is Cantabria, Asturias and the Basque Country. These three provinces have the Cantabrian Sea in common and are ideal places for surfing due to their waves and wind conditions. The Spanish surfing paradise, along with the Canary Islands and Cadiz.

Diving in marine reserves

You can admire the underwater world of the Costa Brava, in the marine reserve near Medes Islands, under the most sustainable island of the Canary Islands, El Hierro, or on the crystal-clear coasts of the Balearic Islands where you can greet dozens of fish at just one metre deep! Imagine what you might find a few metres deeper under water.
