THE LOCATION

Surf Spots
Rodiles Surf Camp is located in the small town of Villaviciosa, a five minute drive away from Rodiles beach and the nature preserve of Ria de Villaviciosa estuary. A regional classic of international fame, Rodiles is a hollow barrelling rivermouth break. To the west of the beach, a sandbar gives some perfect lefts at low tide, while at high tide on the eastern side of the beach, there are further good peaks, with the rights usually betters. This is the most famous spot in Asturias and as part of a nature preserve, the water is always clean.

Asturias
The coast of Asturias is one of the most beautiful in Spain and is known as the Green Coast for the colour of the sea, the pine and eucalyptus covered coastline, and the green pastures of the mountainous interior. The area is reputed for its dairy products and its apple trees producing the famous cider. The coast is very rocky and with several bays and sounds cutting into the cliffs and creating coves and sandy beaches. A scenic backdrop to the coast, the Picos de Europa and the Cantabrian ridge form a spectacular barrier to the south which has maintained Asturias practically uncommunicated with the rest of Spain during centuries.

Climate
Atlantic, with mild/wet winters and warm summers
