Why Barcelona?
More skate than surf most of the year — but when it breaks, it’s a vibe like nowhere else.
- Barceloneta and Bogatell get surfable windswells in fall and winter
- Urban surf community, surf shops, and schools right on the beach
- Easy access — grab a board, paddle out from downtown
- Perfect for beginners and casual cruisers looking to mix city and sea
