Caleta de Famara is an old fishing village located on the northwestern tip of Lanzarote. This Spanish island west of Africa is sometimes called Europe’s Hawaii.

My sister and I went there in July 2005 for a five-day surfing course with Surf School Lanzarote. The director Tim Jones and his team are all British Surfing Association Level 1, 2, 3, and 4 qualified instructors and professional beach lifeguards.

Because of a minor accident involving me, a wet stone and a fall backwards I could only surf the first day, but I can really recommend Surf School Lanzarote if you want to get the whole picture of surfing. Famara is a quiet village, but it’s possible to book your own accommodation in the resorts of Puerto del Carmen or Costa de Teguise if you prefer to stay in a more busy place.
