Tapia, the surfing mecca in northern Spain
Tapia, the capital of the municipality of Tapia de Casariego, is known for its strong ties to fishing and the canning industry. Explore its charming fishing and leisure port, and experience a live fish auction. Sit on the terraces of the bars and restaurants along the waterfront and admire, with the characteristic cries of seagulls in the background, the picturesque scene of its moored fleet, the island's lighthouse, and the outer breakwaters – a 19th-century work by Fernando Fernández-Casariego, the Marquis of Casariego. Wander up through the San Sebastián fishing quarter, visit San Blas – its oldest part – and stroll along La Guardia to enjoy breathtaking views of the Cantabrian Sea from the Os Cañóis viewpoint.
Discover one of the most beautiful and touristic seaside villages in western Asturias, with whaling origins.

Thus, Tapia impresses at first glance with its charming port and fishermen's houses. With its lively atmosphere of taverns, terraces, and restaurants, its beaches, and its welcoming people eager to receive visitors.
Tapia impresses with its panoramic views from its seafront promenade or viewpoint. But Tapia also impresses with its history and illustrious figures, and you can delve deeper into these aspects thanks to the exhibition "The Lords of the Palace Houses," located in the town's Cultural Center.
Tapia is festive, Celtic - in fact it is the birthplace of the Interceltic Festival of the West, declared of Tourist Interest - and among its merits is being a pioneer of surfing in the Cantabrian Sea, with its Anguileiro beach being the setting for one of the most famous events of the World Surfing Championship.
But its pioneering status is not limited to sports, as evidenced by the fact that Tapia was the first port where corn from America was unloaded.
With a transoceanic and universalist vocation, Tapia offers you tranquility by the sea, sports, sun and beach, excellent cuisine and a pleasant atmosphere.
