Andalusian Surf, Yoga & Fitness Week in El Palmar, Cádiz

El Palmar is a small village about 10 km south of Conil de la Frontera, and the beach here is a wide, open stretch of Atlantic sand that picks up swell almost year-round. Nexo Surfhouse sits 300 metres back from it, so you can walk to the water in a few minutes, check the banks, and paddle out without needing a car or a transfer. The property is 8,000 m² with gardens, communal areas and a restaurant on site, which means accommodation, lessons, surfskate, yoga, massages and parking are all in one place.

Coaching is the core of the week. Instructors work in groups capped at five or six surfers and sort people by level so beginners aren't sitting in the same session as someone working on cutbacks. Sessions run with video analysis afterwards, plus personalised theory so you know what you're meant to be changing, not just that you fell in. Surfskate sessions on land are used to build the posture and rotation that translates into better turns in the water — a useful tool when the swell drops or the wind comes up. The house keeps a quiver and test centre with boards and wetsuits you can use without limit, so you can try different shapes across the week instead of committing to one board.

The seasons run from March to June and September to November, and the water is at its most manageable then — offshore mornings, clean waves, and temperatures that suit long sessions. The camp seasons align with when flights from northern Europe to Jerez or Seville are cheap, which matters if you're flying in.

Yoga runs daily and is pitched at surfers rather than as a separate discipline: flexibility, balance and recovery, aimed at shoulders, hips and lower back after hours of paddling. There's also an option of massages on site, and the rest of your time is yours — the village has cafés and restaurants along the beach road, and Conil, Vejer and Cádiz are all within reach for a day off.

This isn't a bootcamp or a resort. It's a working surf house with a mix of ages and abilities, a communal dinner table and a garden where people hang out between sessions. Come alone and you'll have people to surf with by the second day; come as a group and each person can book their own pack within the same booking.
