Since last October 1, Nueva Almería beach has had a school and nautical club that operates all year round. It is located between Plaza de la Marina and the calisthenics park, in the Delta del Río area, and is managed by Apache Surf after being awarded a municipal tender.
What you can practise
The centre offers windsurf, wingfoil, paddle surf, kayak and sailing. According to the Ayuntamiento, it pays special attention to people with disabilities and in situations of vulnerability thanks to an agreement signed with the Patronato Municipal de Deportes (PMD).
That agreement allows specific programmes to be developed throughout the year for certain groups at an affordable price, according to the mayor, María del Mar Vázquez.
Activities with secondary schools
This very morning, Apache Surf has held introductory activities with three groups from IES Nicolás Salmerón. Around 50 students from the vocational training cycles in Animación de Actividad Física y Deportiva and Deportes Náuticos took part, with instructors and equipment from the CIMA club of Compañía María. The activities have included kayak, canoeing and paddle surf.
Visit by the mayor
María del Mar Vázquez has visited the facilities accompanied by the head of Apache Surf, Claudio Fernández, and by the councillor delegated for the Área de Ciudad Activa y Deporte, Antonio Casimiro.
The mayor has stated that the centre «was born with two objectives: that all almerienses who come can have the possibility of learning any water-related sport; and that it also includes people with disabilities».
Claudio Fernández has encouraged people to try the activities: «we have a special interest and willingness and ease for those people who want to practise nautical sports and believe they cannot».
How to take part
Anyone who wants to practise these sports can go to the Apache Surf facilities on Nueva Almería beach, between Plaza de la Marina and the calisthenics park. The centre operates 365 days a year.
