Check out this spot in Xuances. Great location for kayaking, canoeing, supping and wind surfing. Xuances is a small village located in the Lugo province of Galicia, Spain. It is situated on the Galician coast, overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. The area is known for its beautiful and rugged coastline, with steep cliffs, rocky beaches, and dramatic waves. The landscape is largely rural, with green fields and forests in the surrounding hillsides. The village itself is small and quiet, with traditional Galician stone houses and narrow cobbled streets.
