Last night we had a great time with some friends in the light and warmth of a great fire celebrating the local festivities of San Juan… and obviously the victory of Spain over France… some of our friends were French.

Thanks Alejandro for the idea, the wood and the organization.

Pozo Izquierdo: more than waves and jumping

466693_298500250215245_2054452499_o

Probably most of you associate Pozo Izquierdo with nuclear winds, waves and unsane jumping... well just five minutes north from Pozo Izquierdo we have a small bay which is protected from the swell and which receives about the same wind we get at Pozo: Bahía de Formas.

A beach perfect for some slalom, speed sailing, freestyle, and for learning.

Here is a video of Juan Enrique enjoying the conditions with some slalom/speed sailing.
So now you can do some wave sailing and speed sailing the same day… if you have enough stamina…

Pozo on fire!!

DJB_7881

Today has been probably the first day of the “summer season” here at Pozo Izquierdo… the sails on the water between 2.8 and 3.7… and seems like the following days are going to be intense.

Plan your vacations and come over for some radical conditions.

Save Tarifa

Foto: alova3

One of the last unspoiled corners of the Spanish coast is in danger. Valdevaqueros paradise, a beautiful beach perfect for lovers of windsurfing, kitesurfing and nature, will fall victim to the brick.

The municipal government has just approved development plan which includes the construction of 1,423 hotel rooms and 350 houses in this area of ​​high ecological value  listed as a Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO and which sits side to side with the Natural Parks of the Strait and Los Alcornocales . It seems that our leaders have not yet learned the lesson of our economic development growth model based on the brick: a myopic and short-term option only means bread today and hunger tomorrow. Mayor Price and the environmentalists accused of "harming the economic possibilities of the people", as if to fill one of the most beautiful spots of cement was something beneficial for tourism. Visitors come to Tarifa to admire spectacular scenery as Valdevaqueros, not in search of beaches full of buildings.

With your help we can protect one of the unspoilt landscapes of the Spanish geography. Give your support by signing the petition:
