surf spots Spain: Surfing in Gran Canaria around San Felipe
Plenty of surfing and authentic Gran Canaria from El Puertillo to Los Vagabundos
About 20 Minutes the ride from Las Palmas to the fishing village El Puertillo, where the first surf spots Spain in zone San Felipe is located, lasts. From there you’ve the possibility to stroll comfortably along the "surf street of the north" or route GC 2 from one surf spots spain to the next and enjoy surfing in Gran Canaria. Of course the best, most comfortable and cheapest option is to live in surf camp Surfguia 2 which lies directly at the surf spots. But also a day trip by public busses is paying off because of the proximity to Las Palmas.
The path is seamed with graffiti, rusting Objects, lounged around couches, small pools, which are built at ebb on the rocks containing many fishes, banana plantations and thousands of lizards, which rustling fleeing-sounds now and then could distract you from the waves.
Location surf spots spain: zone san felipe
From "Beach-Breaks" like the Playa de Vagabundos up to the surf over round stones like on El Circo and rocks and reefs like Quintanilla, everything is possible around San Felipe. The surf camp Surfguia 2 is directly located in San Felipe and really around 2 Meters away from the surf. Either a whole surf camp can be made, just a apartment be rented or visiting the best spots of the isle by a surfari. The chilling and surf atmosphere spreading camp is by the way the only official lodging possibility directly at the surf spots around San Felipe.
Also amazing are the canyons Barranco de Moya and Hormiguero which are reachable from the surf camp by foot. Here you can dip deep into the exotic flora of Gran Canaria. Between reeds, small waterfalls and eucalyptus forests at the not wider than 5 Meters and the up to 100 Meters upright sidewalls you can feel yourself like a Spanish conqueror, who had get known Gran Canaria still as pure nature-paradise. A Surf-Trip in the north of Gran Canarias offers even more than only sun, beach and cool waves.
Furthermore in the zone numerous authentic and cheap fish restaurants are existing where also Canarian specialties like "ropa vieja" are available. In any case we recommend a restaurant which is located in the village El Roque, which is built on a surf jutting rock. Also nice and authentic is the restaurant directly at surf spot Pico del Paso.
