Private Albergue
El Pez Escorpión (The Scorpionfish) is a surf hostel in Salinas, a coastal town in the Asturias region of northern Spain. Housed in a 1960s-era villa about a minute's walk from the beach, it offers 18 beds across shared rooms sleeping four or six people, along with communal spaces to relax, read, or watch surf films. The hostel has its own garden suitable for light sports or simply unwinding.
The place has a casual, community-oriented feel built around surfing, outdoor life, and a healthy lifestyle. It runs surf lessons and rents equipment, making it a practical base for those new to surfing as well as experienced surfers drawn to the consistent Atlantic swells along this stretch of the Cantabrian coast.
For walkers on routes passing through coastal Asturias, Salinas offers a genuine seaside stop with easy beach access, and El Pez Escorpión provides affordable, straightforward accommodation in a setting that leans more toward surf culture than the traditional pilgrim hostel experience.
