Malpica
Malpica de Bergantiños is a traditional Galician village that although it has lost some of its charm by the buildings that have been built on the facade of the village in front of the sea still retains many beautiful corners and is a must for any surfer who passes through the Galician coast.
In the beach bars have wifi and you can park right in front of the beach in the center or in a parking lot at the end of the beach that is perfect for sleeping in the van or motorhome. Surfers are always welcome in Malpica.
It is recommended to visit the ‘Casa do Mar’ which has murals by the Galician painter Urbano Lugrís.
Beach Break
Areas in the ocean where the waves break over a sandy bottom are known as beach breaks. The waves at beach breaks are constantly changing because the sand is often shifting because of tides, currents, and storms. You can be surfing flawless peeling lefts one day and close-out waves the next at the same surf spot. The surf break could be in one location one day and 200 yards along the shoreline the next. The constantly shifting bottom produces a very unpredictable and dynamic surf break. Because they have a softer and safer bottom than reef breaks, beach breaks are excellent places for beginning surfers to practice.
