Information about Sosua, Dominican Republic (Click to view)
Learning Spanish abroad in Sosua, Dominican Republic is one of many language immersion programs offered by AmeriSpan. Located on the north coast, about 20 kms east of Puerto Plata, Sosua is in a beautiful bay with sandy beaches great for sunbathing and swimming and is surrounded by amazing high coral cliffs. Through the past years it has become a popular resort town with much nightlife and quality restaurants. The main beach is Playa Sosua known for its golden-yellow sand. On one end of the beach is El Batey featuring residential streets, gardens, restaurants, shops and hotels. On the other end is Los Charamicos, the business and residential sector for the locals who work in Playa Sosua, making this area a very traditional one.
Known for its old Spanish ruins, beaches, and baseball players, the Dominican Republic is located about 600 miles southeast of Florida. It occupies two-thirds of Hispaniola, an island discovered by Columbus when he ran the Santa Maria aground on Christmas Day 1492. The island’s strategic position between the Panama Canal and Central and South America has made it a natural gateway to the Americas. Here one can hike on mountains, travel through lush jungle and semi-arid deserts, or enjoy the sea from white sand beaches. Despite a booming tourist industry attracted by the natural beauty, upscale casinos, and low cost of living, the country is still largely undiscovered today.
Participants: Mostly from Europe and the US. Average age 25-40.
Other: The group course for beginners provides you with all theoretical and practical knowledge needed to start windsurfing.
The advanced course is for those who want to freshen up their skills, who want to learn new things or for those who just want to get used to the unknown surf area.
Equipment is provided.
