Word Class - I'm agree that Barcelona is not your surf destiny, but the pictures doesn't lie, when Barceloneta breaks it's a powerful wave as Atlantic ones, of course I'd surf in several Atlantic spots in the Vasque Country or Cannay Islands. It's a pity but the is a project to protect the beaches and maybe will never work again, but even isn't a frequently wave it's a very good one if you are in the Barcelona's area, somebody could say tha Mundaka doesn't break good very often but nobody could say that is not one of the best.
