You can leave your wetsuit at home; the water is nice and warm. We offer 6, 7, 8 and 10 day-retreats. Typically, this retreat involves 4 days in Granada before the trip to the beach. We can also organize surf retreats where you’ll travel from the airport directly to the beach. Let us know what you’re interested in below.
