Windsurfing is another option for people who are too restless to just lie on the beach. Spain and Portugal are well provided with windsurfing spots and centres, and kitesurfing is just beginning to take off.

Surfing, Windsurfing and Kitesurfing Links

Windsurfing and Kitesurfing in Tarifa
Tarifa is the wind capital of Spain, possibly Europe.

Windsurfing and Kitesurfing in Valencia
Oddly, the family resort of Oliva seems to be one of the top spot in Valencia, though by no means the only one. Its Santa Ana beach, popularly renamed El Vergel, is the place to be.

Elsewhere on the Net - Selected Windsurfing Links

Spots
Interactive map"Spots in a glimpse" is one of those slightly comical attempts at English which seem nearly profound if you turn them over in your mind for a few minutes. Actually a useful list of windsurfing and sailing spots in Spain.

Windsurfing in Portugal
Portugal's Atlantic coast could have been designed for windsurfing. This is a good site with a lot of information, in clumsy English.

Windsurfing in Tarifa
Tarifa, Cadiz, is the most important windsurfing centre in Spain, especially popular with Germans. This site informs you about the place, conditions, accommodation...
