Our Accommodation:
We have 4 house to accommodate Sailors and coaches. These houses are at Caleta de Sebo Town, Isla de La Graciosa. The Sailors boat park / ramp is just 1 min from the houses.
Meals:
We are very concerned about healthy food. We chose honest food and also a good combination of Carbohydrates, Protein and good fats. We offer breakfast, midday snack, Picnic cold or hot, afternoon snack and dinner.
What do I need to bring to the Island?
Weather is about 22º y 28º, but some cloudy days and some night is a bit fresh, so don’t forget long pants and a jacket, and summer clothes mainly.
Also bring sport shoes apart from the flip flops.
And your sun cream, lipstick, antimosquitos, toothbrush….
*In case you rent a boat, you will have to bring your own sail, mainsheet and blocks, sprit system and wind indicator.
