Playa de los Caños, in Caños de Meca (Barbate, Cádiz): wave kitesurf for advanced level. The spot runs from the tip of Cabo de Trafalgar, next to the lighthouse, to the town beach in front of the apartments, where the launch area is located. With Levante you ride in front of the apartments, with strong and gusty wind. With Poniente and west swell, long and clean waves appear from the lighthouse to the town, with side-shore wind. There are rocks at the cape and rocky islets off the town, and in summer there are buoyed swimming zones that must be respected. On weekends and in summer the beach gets very crowded.
