Participants will be introduced into sailing every day in a 3-hour course and, in the afternoon, they will learn Spanish in 3 daily Spanish lessons.
Students do not need previous sailing experience, since they will have a theoretical introduction to the basis of sailing before starting with the practice and they will be ready to start their sailing training. After some basic practices on the channel, participants will be divided into groups of 5-6 people and start sailing. At the end of the course, they will be able to sail alone in groups of 2-3 students, always supervised by their instructor.
