What El Palmar and the surrounding area has to offer

Beautiful towns in the surrounding area

The A-Frame surf camp in Spain is located on the Costa de la Luz, the coast of light in Andalusia. This area is considered one of the warmest and driest coastal regions in Spain. With over 300 days of sunshine a year, you will be spoiled by a mild climate in Andalusia, even in winter. The proximity to Africa and the Moorish heritage give this region a special, oriental flair.

The nature around the A-Frame surf camp in Andalusia is breathtakingly beautiful, the people are friendly and life here is authentic. Instead of mass tourism, you can meet real locals and explore beautiful towns and villages: Stroll through the market in Vejer de la Frontera or enjoy Spanish cuisine in one of the small restaurants there. It is even closer to Conil de la Frontera, where you can discover some sights, cafés, boutiques or the beach.
