Additional Surfing Infos
 only with good swell. check el palmar and canos first. if canos de meca has good size, then it is worth to drive to barbate. If u catch it in a good day ur gonna trip over it, its and amazing wave
  Overview
  Atmosphere its a wonderful spot, it will never have more than 5 people out, the best session I have ever had was there 6 feet, clean and perfect, the wave has an easy drop then a hollow section in wich u dont want to fall if the tide is two low, or if the swell is to small, and the tide is high. and then u have a clean wall to tair infront of u, for about 50 yards
  General when it does break, i think it is one of the best right-hander waves of spain actually. the problem only is that you need a good size swell

beware
park your car in the town, not at the top of the hill. theft is common, remember this is the drug-port for Cadiz, dont leave anything of value in your car. The line-up is getting more crowded and there is definetly more tension in the water. but cool when bigger.

yerbabuena is perfect
hi out there.i spent whole summer in southern portugal and cought loads of epic days for sure, and in late may (?) me and my bro made a little trip to the barbate area, because a sufficient swell was forecasted. it is a really nice area/landscape and especially the set-up at yerbabuena is killer! we didnt really knew where it was, so we stopped at one of the parkinglots in the forest and just made our way towards the cliff. amazing!we caught some really nice waves the next days, first in yerbabuena, later as the swell decreased again in canos de meca. we were lucky with our car, nothing happened and also the locals were quite freindly. come with a cool attitude, take your rubbish and everything will be fine, as like everywhere else!
