El Palmar is that secret spot you’ve never heard of—the star of the Spanish surf scene. Next to Conil de la Frontera only 2 hours from Sevilla. The place where the northwest (winter) swells wrap around Portugal and arrive as perfect A-frames. El Palmar is a surfer’s paradise. If the waves aren’t suitable for your level, there are about 5 other spots to surf in the area. For example, a mellow point break for longboarding and down-the-line cruising, a nice reef break for shortboards or mid-length boards, and a relaxing beach break. During the surf trip, we will choose the best spots based on the conditions and the skill levels of the participants.

Most participants are adults between the ages of 20 and 50, with the majority coming from the Netherlands. However, the group often includes people from other countries as well, and our coaches can communicate in German or English if needed.
Some people bring their own surfboards (whether it’s a hardboard, shortboard, fish, mini-malibu, midlength, or longboard), while others prefer to rent a board on-site (either a softboard or hardboard). Regardless of the board you choose, it’s important to note that some experience with surfing and the ocean is required. Participants should be comfortable with basic surf techniques and ready to progress to the next level.
The group tends to include individuals who are not only eager to challenge themselves in the water but also appreciate the mental and physical aspects of the sport.

Yes! You can bring your own surfboard, though keep in mind that transporting surfboards might come with additional costs (around €50 per flight, depending on your airline). Alternatively, you can rent a board for about €20 per day. Please wrap your wetsuit and add some padding to protect your surfboard during transport.
We don’t include wetsuits in the package, but if you have a 4/3 wetsuit, we recommend bringing it, as your own wetsuit is usually more comfortable than a rental. However, you can rent one on-site if needed.
For cheap flights, you can check Google Flights or Skyscanner.com. Ryanair and Transavia often have some of the most affordable options. It’s always best to book early, as prices tend to go up the closer you get to your departure date.
