18 Nudos Surf Club

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

We are in the Spot Punta del Río de Salobreña, Granada, on the Costa Tropical. The microclimate of the area, the paradisiacal beaches and the frequent east or west wind, 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 Costa Tropical de Granada. These modalities are the ones that are learned before because they allow you to go on the board standing up, or in the simplest boat that exists comfortably seated. If the waters remain flat, in the absence of waves, it will be very easy for you to be part of these excursions even if the sea is not exactly your usual environment. The time of the crossings 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 start from Cantarriján towards the East to Malaga or towards the West through the Marro Cerro Gordo Natural Park .

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

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

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

On the Costa Tropical you can enjoy the best conditions for kitesurfing. The microclimate and the constant east or west winds guarantee the best practice of sailing sports.

The Costa Tropical hides hundreds of secrets among its beaches and coves, so from 18 Nudos we want to bring you closer to the caves and cliffs of the Maro-Cerro Gordo Natural Park . These are group guided routes where each user can navigate in an individual table. You can choose between two routes:

• Cueva de las Palomas : We will leave from Cantarriján towards the cliff of La Torre, a route that takes us through inaccessible coves and that ends in the cave of Las Palomas, 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 has to be done lying down, to once inside reach a huge vault of 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.
