SURFCAMP

Camino Surfcamp Spain Galicia Camp Area and Ben Surfing

Galicia, located in the uttermost northwest of Spain, was considered the end of the world – Finisterrae – until the discovery of the Americas. Up to now, this remote part of the Iberian peninsula is widely untroubled by the effects of mass-tourism and therefor still considered an insider tip.

The Camino Surfcamp Galicia is situated on a small, well-kept campsite and offers different accommodation-options. The bathroom facilities are right next to the camp and get cleaned on a daily basis. There is a small supermarket, a restaurant, and a pizzeria right next to the Surfcamp as well as two more supermarkets and several Cafés and restaurants in walking distance.

If you still got some power left after the surf-sessions, you might burn off your excess energy with Table-Tennis, Indo-Boarding, Skateboarding, or you get yourself on one of our Mountainbikes to explore the fascinating hinterland of Valdoviño. Also, you can let your mind wander while you relax in one of the hammocks or get connected to the “outside-world” on the Camp-Computer with Internet-connection.

Camino Surfcamp Galicia SurfnRoll Saxophone Karaoke EN

Surf’n’Roll brings together surfing and music – a combination rooted deeply within the ancient polynesian tradition of waveriding and nowadays even known to the furthest landlocked longshore lubber thanks to Beach Boys’ “Surfin’ USA” and Jack Johnson, to name a few. In practicing both, you will experience the positive influence of a clear sense of rhythm when learning new sequences of motion, which is just one of the most obvious effects.
Music and surfing are inexhaustible sources of inspiration and motivation, sharing the one most important factor: both are heaps of fun! And this is what every Surf’n’Roll workshop is built around.
