Picasso and Orzán beach

The beaches of Riazor and Orzán are the scene of the childhood games of Picasso and his friends Constantino Sardina Muíños and Antonio Pardo Reguera, where they played around and dodged the waves. On Riazor beach was where the young Picasso first discovered female nudity, peeping through the keyhole of a bathing hut.

Recommendations

Before getting in the water, check the depth and do not dive headfirst into shallow areas.
