With navigable winds more than 150 days a year, La Loteta is the perfect place to practice kitesurfing and windsurfing. The famous Cierzo is the most common wind that enters with the Atlantic storms and runs through the entire Ebro Valley to its mouth. With a constant intensity of 10 to 20 knots, this cold wind from the NW direction is a great ally for kitesurfers. In addition, on some occasions there are very strong "cierceras" of more than 40 knots, which makes La Loteta a special place for the most experienced.
