While one might imagine scenes of summer heat and excitement when picturing days at the beach in Spain, the majority of surfers come to enjoy the northern coastline from October onwards when the surf season begins. The Atlantic certainly gets rather cold at this time of the year but, if you’re interested in surfing in Spain and want to enjoy both the best possible waves and the wonderful cuisine, attractions, culture, and landscape of the area at the same time, then it is the only time to plan your visit.
There are lots of famous surf towns in the country but if you find a villa in Cantabria, you will discover plenty of great options along the coast of the region and a distinctly fascinating part of Spain to explore. Known as, “Green Spain,” this area is full of unbelievable natural beauty and boasts over 60 sandy beaches, endless stunning churches and abbeys along the old Way of Saint James pilgrimage route, several extraordinary nature reserves, pretty towns, top-notch spas, and a unique gastronomy. Add to this the excellent surf spots and you have a recipe for a perfect autumn getaway in Spain full of invigorating days in the ocean or wandering the mountains that are blanketed in trees in astounding shades of gold and russet or warming up with some delicious seasonal specialities.
