La Salvé in Laredo is an urban beach. The Buciero hill shelters it from the northern weather systems which batter the coast in the winter. It is then that Laredo becomes the perfect place to surf. While most of the beaches on this coastline are whipped by the northern and north-easterly winds, Laredo is a safe refuge, with orderly and perfectly formed waves.

Did you know… Protected from the north winds, these waves need large weather

systems in order to break properly. It is the best option when the rest of the coast is

impossible to surf due to the strength of the sea and the north winds.

This lovely fishing village, famous for its excellent anchovies, has two notable surfing beaches, highlights not only on the Cantabrian scene, but also in the rest of Europe. On the one hand, there is Berria beach – a medium sized sandy beach (1,8 km) which receives strong waves and has the typical features of the Cantabrian coast. On the other hand, there is the wave known as La Fortaleza, one of the longest waves in Europe, which is found just underneath the Fortress on the Buciero hill and which can roll for up to a kilometre. Access to La Fortaleza is complicated and there are two possible routes: either walking to the fortress and then climbing down the cliff with your board, or rowing round the headland from Santoña on the low tide currents. It is a unique wave, very unusual, and full of local people, but just being able to catch a left hand roller on the “Forta” is an unrepeatable experience.

1 km of wave. La Fortaleza is an immensely long wave, offering an exceptional run of up to a kilometre. The wave only breaks at low tide, so you must be on the alert.

From Santoña to the nearby village of Noja. Here we find the El Brusco wave, one of the best in Europe. Hidden on the Trengadín beach, at the eastern end of its 3.5 kilometres, El Brusco is one of the local surfers’ best kept secrets. Its perfection offers unique tubes, more commonly found at other latitudes, and when it is forming properly, it is a must for the best surfers on the coast. This perfection is partly due to the sharp change in depth of the water at this point of the coast.

/ Loredo Latitud 43°27’46.11”N Longitud 3°43’27.74”O



The beach at Somo is a benchmark in the story of Spanish surfing. Here several generations of surfers have been moulded. Its long shore offers a number of surfing spots for all levels. The Somo beach joins the Loredo beach, actually making up the same stretch of sand. At the eastern end there is one of the jewels in the Cantabrian crown, the famous wave at the Santa Maria island, known as “La Isla”, a wave which reaches disproportionate sizes (up to six or eight metres). At the western end we find El Puntal, a much calmer area tucked further into the Bay of Santander, one of the most beautiful bays in the world. Between these two points we can find the Loredo and Las Quebrantas waves.Somo beach offers surf for intermediate and beginner levels. The point at Loredo, next to Santa Marina, is possibly the most popular part of the beach, and its curvature means you can choose between calm waves closer to the Loredo car park, or stronger waves further away. The next surf area on this magnificent beach is known as Las Quebrantas, (from “quebrar”, meaning “to break”), a legendary and illustrative name, as it is the point where boats used to turn to enter the Bay of Santander, exposed to the fury of the Cantabrian Sea and where on a great number of occasions keels were snapped, sending many boats down. A true witness to these conditions is a shipwreck which can be seen at low tide, and which gives its name to one of the waves at Somo, known as “El Barco”. This part of the beach is therefore the point where the sea is strongest, and is very popular in the summer when there is less surf. Just opposite this point there is the Cantabrian Surf School which, now 20 years old, is the leading surf school in Spain. Director “Capi” García and his team of professionals are pioneers in teaching this sport and have made a considerable contribution to its expansion in this country.

Galizano beach

Sheltered from the easterly winds by the island itself, the Santa Marina wave is a test for even the most experienced surfers and it is a popular destination for the big wave riders. It is the home of the famous Santa Marina Gigante championship, held with minimum wave heights of four metres. The Santa Marina car park fills up on the days when the island roars with all its might. It is a great sight to see the huge waves being ridden with the Bay of Santander in the background. “La Isla” is a dangerous wave, due to its force and depth, full of rocks and only recommended for expert surfers. The classic days are full of experts in big wave surfing such as the veteran waterman Ibon Amatriain, or the Cantabrian locals Dani García, Óscar “El Loco” or David Echagüe.A few kilometres east of Somo beach, in the town of Ribamontán al Mar, we find Galizano beach. Open to the full strength of the Cantabrian Sea, this small beach, a 150 metre stretch of fine golden sand, is a good option to consider for the summer months.

Best surfing months: All year round. Given the variety of this beach, you can find waves all year round; from the gentle surf of a normal

summer’s day to the four metre plus waves on certain days in winter and autumn.

A stone’s throw from the beach:In Ribamontón al Mar there a lots of surf-orientated shops and bars which give the town a unique atmosphere. It is also a regular host for surf championships and festivals. All over the town you can find interesting examples of civil and religious architecture, drawing you close to the culture and lifestyle of a town which has left clear signs of it in its heritage.

In the heart of Santander we find this lovely urban beach which has a special northeast facing position and offers great surfing conditions for the winter and autumn. This beach is also of historical importance as it was here that surfing in Spain started, back in 1964. The pioneer was Jesús Fiochi, who had bought a surfboard that same year in France, thus introducing this Hawaiian sport to the Iberian Peninsula. The beach at El Sardinero runs along the coast from the Magdalena Palace to the Hotel Chiqui. It is right outside this hotel that one of the most original wave on the beach, known as “El Muro” (“The Wall”). This is an impressive wave which breaks along the sea front wall, providing an unusual spectacle as the surfers ride it, so close to the stone wall that it seems they might crash into it at any moment. Apart from the “El Muro” wave, El Sardinero has a number of spots which when the surf is forming well, are noteworthy for their strong tubes. Given the popularity of the beach with the general public, surfing is not allowed on El Sardinero during the summer months.

Best surfing months: Winter and autumn. There must be strong swell for the waves to break. In the summer it is unusual to get good surf, while in the winter it becomes a “hotspot” when most of the other beaches are unsafe due to the huge waves.

Surf schools:


The long Valdearenas beach, better known as “Liencres” beach, offers top quality waves. Its ideal position in the Dunas de Liencres Nature Park make it a surfer’s paradise and perfect for anyone wishing to enjoy the sea and nature. The most recognisable and popular spot is “La Lastra”, just opposite the car park at the eastern end of the beach. The next spots are found to either side of the main car park, and following the sand bank to the mouth of the estuary (at the western end of the beach) there is another exceptional tube wave. With its beauty and variety of waves, Liencres has earned itself a place among the most famous surf beaches in Europe. With the right conditions, it is full of top level surfers, although there are always waves to suit all tastes.

Valdearenas beach

Best surfing months: All year round, in particular autumn and summer. Liencres is considered to be a beach which attracts the waves, and where there is poor surf along the coast, here there is always something – even small waves. In the summer, when surfing is not permitted on the El Sardinero beach, Liencres is the best alternative nearby.

Los Locos beach

/ Los Locos

With its evocative name, the Los Locos beach had to be perfect for surf lovers – and so it is. Although its name is not taken form the “locos” (madmen) who ride its waves both on warm summer’s days and in the cold winter, this beach is a reference point in Europe. The origin of its name comes from a former mental hospital close to this small beach (around 500 metres across) which, nestling in the town of Suances, offers top quality waves in a young and surf orientated atmosphere. Its west-facing position offers it almost unique features on the Cantabrian coast. The sea rolls in with great force, and the strong easterly winds of the spring and summer whips up special waves which create the longed-for tubes.


21

Here, the best surfers from the nearby town of Torrelavega have traditionally learnt their skills – such as Pablo Solar, Spanish National Surf Champion, or his nieces Mirka Martín – current National Women’s Surf Champion, and Deva Martín, National Bodyboard Champion. It was also on this beach that, in 1989, the surfboard brand Jalaika was born – one of the best known boards in the area.

The Los Locos Surf Club organises a contest each summer, in September, with a strong and well established tradition. It is the Billabong Surfing Event, which has run for thirteen years. It has become the leading surf championship in Spain and is the best event for establishing the level of the country’s top surfers.

Surfing with whales Ten years ago, the surfers on Oyambre beach

were surprised to find that they were catching waves alongside a 20 metre whale. The whale

remained in the area for several days and captured the attention of the press and the

general public who came to see the animal, which eventually returned to the depths of its own accord. San Vicente de la Barquera and Comillas, the towns either side of this

beach, have had a strong whaling tradition in former times, when the Cantabrian coast was

populated with right whales.

This is how the poet Gerardo Diego immortalised the celebration in honour of the Barquera Virgin which is marked year after year by the town’s fishermen, who carry the image of the Virgin down to the old harbour with singing and dancing, to be taken across the bay by boat. A traditional festivity which takes place on the first Sunday after Easter.

Located almost on the boarder between Cantabria and Asturias, nestling between the Cantabrian Sea and the Picos de Europa mountains, San Vicente de la Barquera is a town which remains true to the essence of the region and has a strong fishing tradition. It has one of the most beautiful beaches on the entire coastline, measuring 3.5 kms in total and divided into two: the El Rosal beach (alongside the San Vicente estuary) and Gerra beach (alongside the Gerra headland). Along this huge strip of practically unspoilt sand, we can find all kinds of waves in clean, crystal clear water. Although surfing has grown a lot in this town, and each summer there are more surfers on the beach, the number and variety of waves means there is a relaxed atmosphere. It has a special charm, making it a favourite destination for surfers from all over Europe. It is also a great option for learning to surf. Also, to the east of the Gerra headland there is the stunning Oyambre beach (1.8 kms), which offers a number of surfable spots.
