It’s winter, it’s cold, so we desert the beach a little and the sea a lot, and still… Sometimes we catch a glimpse of surfers… Yes, you read that right, surfers in the Mediterranean!
The first time we saw them we were a bit curious, although we must confess that the waves were quite huge. Something to make all the surfers of Barcelona smile and go fishing! They have indeed the sea for themselves! Sometimes they still have to share it with some lunatics that dare take a bath, or else with addicts to paddle, kayak, sailing and wind-surf.
Do you dream of challenging the waves? Even better if it’s in winter and at the Mediterranean? (Yes, we’re selling dreams today!) Well, here you have a humble shortlist of the different water sports schools in Barcelona and its surroundings. We won’t hold it against you if you decide you rather wait for nicer weather to give it a try!
