Palmones is a kitesurf spot located in the Bay of Algeciras area, with small riding zones and a nearby inner lagoon where kitesurfing is prohibited. It usually works best in the mornings when strong Levante winds in Tarifa exceed 30 knots, as conditions here tend to be much lighter and more manageable.
During the summer season, riding is possible as long as all marked zones are strictly respected, avoiding restricted areas and ensuring safety for both riders and the surrounding environment.
