Moreover it is the windiest area of the whole Catalan coastline. Thanks to the constantly blowing thermal winds and the Tramontana, which is the dominant wind in spring and autumn, windsurfers and kitesurfers of all levels find the right conditions in Golf de Roses. Our center is also known for the great kids tuition offered. The spot is perfectly suited for kids & youngsters who will for sure discover the fun of windsurfing! GRAN CANARIA home of many windsurfing pros and location of the PWA World Cup, is the windiest island of the Canaries. The mountains, up to 2000 m high, intensify the thermal winds which blow constantly throughout the whole year. Our Club Mistral center, open all year long and located in Bahia Feliz, is the right place for those who are looking for extreme conditions and extreme fun on the water – and don´t need so much action on land. Bahia Feliz is a very relaxed and quiet place and thus completely different to the other tourist centers on Gran Canaria. TARIFA for ages “Europe’s Capital of Wind” has been THE destination for all windsurfing and kitesurfing addicts. Thanks to top conditions throughout the whole year, this is the place where water lovers will feel more than comfortable. With two centers we cover the whole range offered in Tarifa, and everybody will find the right spot suited to their level. Tarifa and its environment also have lots to offer on land: cultural attractions, a glittering nightlife and a completely different world just a stone’s throw away: Morocco. club-mistral.com I 107

A mostly sandy bottom with only very few rocks provides easy access to the water. A sure sign of the steadily blowing winds is the huge sand dune at the end of the bay of Valdevaqueros, which the “Levante” has created over many years. In the Straight of Gibraltar the wind accelerates via a funnelling effect, reaching 8bft. on the “big days”. In July and August, during high season, the beach and Tarifa itself get very crowded. WIND AND WAVES There are two main wind directions in Tarifa. During summer the Levante is the dominant wind. It blows cross-offshore from the left (east). With a light Levante some pretty nice waves can occur. With a strong Levante the water is flat to choppy. During spring and autumn the main wind is the “Poniente”, which blows side shore/side onshore from the right (west). THE CENTER The center “Valdevaqueros” is located right next to the small hotel “Rancho Valdevaqueros”, close to the big dune. Inside the protected bay the water is flat to choppy, a rather challenging shore break may occur when the wind is blowing side onshore (Poniente). Beginner lessons depend on the conditions and are not always possible. At Valdevaqueros we offer both windsurfing and kitesurfing. To avoid any chaos, the spot is divided into different zones. At the Club Mistral Hurricane we offer windsurfing rental & lessons and kitesurfing lessons. As kitesurfing is prohibited right in front of the center, we take our students to either Valdevaqueros or “Dos Mares”, depending on conditions. Apart from rental and lessons we also provide storage facilities for your own equipment as well as a small shop. During summer the water is flat to choppy, from autumn until spring it gets rather wavy (up to 2 m). A shore break only occurs with onshore conditions (Poniente). There is a small wind shadow close to the beach, but once you have passed it, the Levante delivers Rancho Valdevaqueros its full strength. As there are some rocks and reef plates inside the water, Hotel we 100% recommend Fun wearing shoes. At both centers, Hurricane and Valdevaqueros, Las Flores there are small bars serving you Las Dunas snacks and drinks.
