Hiking around El Palmar

Andalusia is also home to gentle hills and beautiful wild nature. Here you will find untouched hiking trails. Our favourite hike is the so-called Water Mill trail. It starts in the pretty village of St. Lucia and leads past waterfalls, an ancient aqueduct and old water mills. Natural pools are a wonderful way to cool down along the way. This hike is ideal for families.

Whale Watching in Tarifa

Tarifa is just a 40 minute drive from El Palmar and should not be missed on your holiday in Andalusia. On our A-Frame Blog we have summarised the “must sees” for you. One of our favourites is the Whale Watching Tour with Firmm. From a boat you can watch whales and dolphins in the Strait of Gibraltar. What we like best is that this company takes great care that the animals are not disturbed in their natural habitat. All employees speak German, English and Spanish.

Explore the culture of Andalucia during your surf holidays

What would a trip to Andalusia be without sightseeing? Only 15 minutes away from El Palmar is the charming white hilltop village of Vejer de la Frontera. There you can stroll through the winding streets and enjoy delicious food. Even closer and more lively is the seaside town of Conil de la Frontera.

If you want to get a taste of the big city, we recommend a visit to bustling Cádiz and elegant old Seville.
