## Who they are

Escuela Marejada is a surf school and surf camp on the Colunga coast that has worked in surfing since 2003. Its legal notice is in the name of Ricardo Fernández, with an address at El Barrigón, in La Isla (Colunga). The website says the director has been several times Spanish champion, although it gives two different figures on two pages. It is registered as an active tourism company in Asturias under number TA134, has the council's activity licence and civil liability and accident insurance. The instructors are sports technicians in surfing, with qualifications recognised by the Spanish and Asturian federations and the Consejo Superior de Deportes. They also have a second surf camp in Senegal.

## What they offer and where

The core is surfing: two-hour lessons, grouped by level and with separate groups for children and adults, and private lessons for any age. According to the school's page, lessons are given at La Espasa beach, between Colunga and Caravia, about 2 km of sand with gentle, steady waves. The surf camp accommodation is beside La Isla beach, about 200 metres from the lesson spot. There are three sessions a day: 10 to 12, 12 to 14 and 16 to 18 hours.

They also offer paddle surf, with courses and tours at 10, 12 and 16 hours, yoga (Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 19:00 to 20:30 and Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday from 10:30 to 12:00) and paddle yoga depending on tides. They rent surf equipment from 10 to 19 hours and paddle surf equipment, at La Isla beach, from 10 to 21 hours. In summer they run camps for under-18s and in winter they continue with courses and rental.

## Groups, equipment and prices

## Booking
