Two hours of surfing with an instructor on whichever beach in the council area has the best waves that day: Palombina, in Celorio, Torimbia or San Martín. It starts with theory and a warm-up on the sand. You meet at Palombina beach 15 minutes beforehand; if you are staying a week, there are five- and seven-day courses.
What the lesson is like
It is run by NaturAsturias, an adventure tourism company that works on the beaches of Llanes. Each session starts with a short talk on basic technique and safety, continues with a warm-up and then moves into the water with the qualified instructor. The level is adapted to each pupil: there are beginner, improver and advanced groups, so it suits you whether you have never stood on a board or want to correct bad habits.
The beach changes with the state of the sea. The school chooses between Palombina, in Celorio, which together with Las Cámaras forms a single beach split by an islet and holds the Q for Quality mark; Torimbia, near Niembro; or San Martín, between Poo and Celorio, reached on foot along farm tracks. The meeting point is always Palombina beach, 15 minutes before the start.

The website does not publish fixed times or a closed season: it depends on the waves, so confirm the time when you book.
What to combine
The same company runs the sea kayak along the Llanes coast, which also leaves from Celorio. Celorio is about 5 km from the town: in the afternoon, the San Pedro walk and the Memory Cubes.
