Kitesurfing at Salinas

Salinas is Asturias's best-known kite and surf beach, a long sandy bay near Avilés backed by a promenade and the San Juan de Nieva breakwater. Westerly through south-westerly winds blow cross-onshore over Atlantic swell, making it a solid spot for wave riding and freeride. A lively local scene and easy access add to its appeal.

Best wind directions: W, NW, SW
