La Galea
Edit SpotAbout
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.
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
Additional Info:
Very few people surf here because his dangerous and potential. But the last two years, some of the Meñakoz locals began to enjoy it.
