In Salobreña you will find one of the most prestigious nautical schools in all of Andalusia, 18 Nudos. We teach surfing, kitesurfing and windsurfing courses, we also do stand up paddle surfing and kayaking routes.

We are in the Punta del Río Spot in Salobreña, Granada, on the Tropical Coast. The microclimate of the area, the paradisiacal beaches and the frequent wind from the east or west, make this enclave perfect for beginner surfing and its derivatives.

One of the activities that we most recommend for beginners are the SUP and kayak routes, discovering the most beautiful corners of the Tropical Coast of Granada. These modalities are the ones that are learned first because they allow you to ride on the board standing up, or in the simplest boat that exists comfortably seated. If the waters remain flat, in the absence of waves, you will have a very easy time taking part in these excursions even if the sea is not exactly your usual environment. The crossing time is usually 2 hours.

You can find us 365 days a year on the Costa Tropical, we are waiting for you!
 

The best way to get to know the Costa Tropical in depth is to take a kayak route with 18 Knots. These are routes that depart fromCantarriján in an easterly direction to Málaga or in a westward direction through theMarro Cerro Gordo Natural Park.

• Cueva de las Palomas, a tour through stone coves that are inaccessible on foot, and that take us to the cliff of La Torre and the Cueva de Las Palomas.
• Cala de las Doncellas, we will go to the province of Málaga to discover paradise caves and coves where we can take a bath in its crystalline waters.

The routes are guided, in groups and are done in two-seater kayaks. The itinerary to follow will depend on the weather conditions and the wind, depending on whether it blows from the east or west.

The excursion lasts 2 and a half hours, is of low difficulty and can be done from 8 years old.

These are guided group routes where each user can navigate on an individual board. You can choose between two routes:

• Cueva de las Palomas: We will leave from Cantarriján towards the La Torre cliff, a route that takes us through inaccessible coves and ends in the Las Palomas cave, a spectacle for its crystalline waters .
• Cala de las Doncellas, also starts from Cantarriján, but in the opposite direction. We will enter Malaga territory, where we will visit a small cave in which access must be done lying down, and once inside we will reach a huge vault 2 meters high and 15 square meters. The route continues through Cala de Las Doncellas, discovering reddish sands, pine forests, mountain goats and turquoise waters.
