Be aware that it’s necessary to carry the board to the beach, but it’s a short walk and the exercise is part of the paddle experience, the guides took pictures and it was great to only focus on the activity and not worry about the pictures and our belongings that stayed in the lockers. If you are in a group, please, listen to the guide and be quiet when you arrive, it’s a neighborhood and people are still sleeping during this time.”

Albert was our skipper, he took us out to see the Barcelona coastline and we were lucky enough to see the Americas Cup up close. We then swam and went into the Barcelona harbour to marvel at the architecture and super yachts. The cava, beer and snacks were delicious. My husband and I agree that this was the best day of the 4 we spent in Barcelona. Thank you Albert and Anje!”
