Water Sports:
If you would like to do some water sports, such as sailing, windsurfing, kite surfing etc and would like lessons or just to rent the gear when you go, then this can be arranged.
For example, windsurfing courses, to be completed over one/two weeks can be arranged with the local instructor, situated a 20 minute stroll (or 5 minute drive) along the beach. I've done one of the courses myself (6 hours of windsurfing lessons over one week costs around 100 euros). It was excellent: Carlos is a patient teacher, and the water was so warm that I didn't mind falling in! After a week I was able to surf around the Mar Menor, turning at will- felt very proud of myself! They also do refresher lessons or just rent out windsurfing boards and sails, kayaks, pedalos, dingies, kite gear, etc by the hour/half day etc. They can provide certificates for Royal Yacht 1 and 2 etc. Contact us before you go and we'll be happy to give you more details.
