Basque country, july-august 2007


Remo and I went SURFING for two weeks in the Spanish side of the Basque country. This place is located in the North-East of Spain. Our favourite spot was Sopelana! The waves there were so powerful that we didn't need to paddle to catch the waves!!! It was so fun!



Prior to any outgoing, we had to heat-up our muscles...


Then we take the board, and attach its leash to one of our ankle...


...and there we go: SURFING!!!!


From Sopelana, we tough we should find other spots: direction Azturias...


We did two days camping in the Playa of Rodiles... But the waves were too small, so we decided to go back to the Basque country.


We were curious about "the wave of Mundaka", so we spent two days there! But still: no waves :-(


To reach the waves in Mundaka, one must swim on the board, and reach the sand bank that you can see on the back-right...


This monastery on a small peninsula was gorgeous! It was seen on the way from Mundaka to Sopelana.


And back to Sopelana, where the waves were as cool as usual! This day the wind was very strong, and you can notice a Kyte and a Windsuf in the back!



Another view from Sopelana beach. We could see the magestuous wind mills of Bilbao in the back.



...and last but not least: beautifull sunset on Sopelana!
