These can be busy in the summer months. Spain's premier windsurfing resort is Tarifa , on the Straits of Gibraltar, where the world championships are held. Inland lakes on the meseta in the regions of Castilla and Extremadura also have good facilities for windsurfing. Whitewater rafting and canoeing are practised on the rapids in northern Spain. Centres are well equipped and have skilled staff.
Sailing is very popular, both around the coast and inland.
Spain has over 4000 kilometres of coastline, and there are many harbours. Over 100 sailing clubs exist, most of which are located near the Mediterranean. Excellent opportunities exist for all types of fishing. The rivers and streams of the Pyrenees and the Picos de Europa offer good freshwater game fishing, while trout is abundant throughout the country. The Asturias contain the best salmon rivers, which last year yielded around 5000 catches.
