Spanish & Surfing
Cadiz, Spain

Cadiz is the oldest city in Western Europe with records suggesting that the city was occupied more than 3,000 years ago. It stands on a peninsula jutting out into a bay, and is almost entirely surrounded by water. This surprisingly laid-back town with an easy-going atmosphere offers great beaches, sweeping views of the sea and long, palm-lined promenades that complement the town’s lively bars, fantastic museums, bustling commercial activity, and beautiful Cathedrals typical of any prized European city. Cadiz looks quite Moorish in appearance and is intriguing with narrow cobbled streets opening onto small squares. Cadiz is also known for its famously wild Carnival celebrations. It has become the liveliest and most dazzling carnival town in mainland Spain, famous for its amusing and creative figurines and satirical song groups.

Combine your Spanish lessons with a Surf course. A great way to learn a language and learn/practice to surf. Cadiz with more than 6 miles of beaches, offers you a great opportunity to practice all kind of water sports.

The course is for beginner surfers and covers: basic techniques; paddling in the right direction; how to position before the wave; how to catch a wave; and how to stand up after you catch a wave. After 2-3 weeks, we suggest that you practice on your own or take private lessons. The Spanish & Surf course includes the following:
  • 1 hour of theory (all in Spanish): Security, knowledge about the sea, materials, and basic advices.
  • 1 hour/day of practice
  • Full insurance against accidents
  • Transport from the school to the surf area, when it’s outside Cadiz’s city
  • Use of the board and equipment during class (after class you can rent equipment and obtain private instruction, if you wish)

Highlights:
  • Surfing Classes Times Vary To Insure Best Waves
