Additional Information
Very few people surf here because his dangerous and potential. But the last two years, some of the Meñakoz locals began to enjoy it.
Atmosphere
The atmosphere here is a little bit dramatic. Big clifss, the open sea, the rocks and the massive series give your heart a electroshock. Few people surf here and over the rocks there is a word: Pain
General
I never surf here and i´ll never do it. But i like to stay on the top of the cliff, or go down, and feel the comming of the big North Atlantic swells.
