a mediterranean city ―

If diversity is what you are looking for in your Spanish immersion courses in Spain, you will find plenty of it in Alicante, in the Costa Blanca region. Alicante combines classicism with modernity, leisure with business, fun with study, and even mountain and beach. The richness of Alicante's history is preserved through its archaeological remains. The beauty of its monuments along with the charm of various festivities and cultural events held throughout the year increase the appeal of the city. The wonderful beaches and mild climate all year round make Alicante one of Spain’s most important tourist areas.

All in all, Alicante is a Mediterranean city, with its beautiful beaches, its promenades, its restaurants, cafés and terraces, its nautical club... If you go up to the top of the hill of the Santa Barbara Castle, you will discover an unforgettable panoramic view of the most important monuments in Alicante: the church of Santa Maria, the Cathedral, the Town Hall façade, the monastery of Santa Faz, the San Fernando Castle and much more. Seeing all these magnificent monuments from above will invite you to go down the hill and walk along them. Along the streets, you will come across large and small palaces, as well as traditionally painted white, yellow and pink houses. Everything is illuminated by the blue light of the Mediterranean Sea and encourages you to continue walking around and discovering places. The widest avenues, such as La Rambla or Doctor Gadea will lead you to Alfonso X el Sabio Street with the Luceros on one side and the Central Market on the other, just opposite the School of Spanish.

lessons in mini-groups ―

Our General Spanish immersion courses make use of an active, practical and communicative methodology to guarantee that students learn Spanish as fast and effectively as possible: With Zador Spanish language lessons: Students work on a variety of skills:

Speaking and Fluency, Interaction, Listening and Reading Comprehension, Writing.

There is a great focus on oral skills so that students develop an ability to communicate fluently, accurately and efficiently in Spanish language.

Nevertheless, our Spanish lessons go far beyond that: they are an opportunity to learn about Spanish culture as well as a meeting point for people from a variety of backgrounds and cultures trying to find out more about Spanish habits, traditions, national celebrations (the “fiestas”) and ways of living in Spain.

Our small-group Spanish lessons will: allow to get the most from our

personalized teaching, facilitate active and dynamic

participation in class, maximize the use of classroom

interaction techniques, thus facilitating the ability to speak Spanish fluently.

Spanish lessons last 45 minutes and in all the Junior Programmes students receive the book and lesson material.

After a short theoretical introduction to the basis of sailing, such as: rigging up, wind, basic trimming, rudder, centreboard, capsize and recovery... you will be doing some basic practices on the channel of the school and right after, sail away on your Skif sailboat under the supervision of an instructor. Students start to sail divided into groups of 5-6 people in fast boats that will make them feel many new things. Participants finish the course sailing on their own boats in groups of 2-3 students or alone supervised by an instructor on a safety boat.

2 to 4 week Windsurfing Summer Camp and Spanish lessons for teens from 14 to 17 years old in July and August. 3 hours every morning from Monday to Friday to learn Windsurfing. It is maybe true that windsurfing requires lots of patience, dedication and a certain degree of sacrifice to start with. But it is also true that when the first step is done, we will be ready to enjoy one of the most pleasant water sports. In the windsurfing summer camp you will find all the necessary to learn and practice windsurfing in ideal conditions. Funny and exciting, young people learn how to windsurf with balance exercises and many baths. Once they are able to navigate, they learn to plane and to play with waves. They will be always supervised by a trainer on a safety boat. After having lunch in the Nautical Club, the students go to the school to learn Spanish until 18:30 h. When the lessons are finished, students with a leader visit museums, parks, participate in games, go to the beach… and finally, around 20:30 or 21:00 students go to the Residence to have dinner.

premises of the club ―

nautical club information

This small Nautical Club has a long history. It was founded in 1973 near Alicante by a group of enthusiasts of water sports trying to spread their passion for the sea. The Alicante Costa Blanca Nautical Club is located to the North of the bay, just near the Albufereta Beach, sheltered by the sea on a plain sea area. Surrounded by beaches on a safe and quiet bay, the Nautical Club is the perfect place for teens to start or continue their relationship with the waves and the wind. The Club is an organisation officially approved by the Valencia Sailing Federation and, therefore, it follows the obligatory parameters in training, safety, material, and facilities: a trainer for every seven students, safety boats, own sea area limited by the coastal authorities, different boat types, safety coordinator, etc. The Sailing School of the Costa Blanca Nautical Club has a qualified and highly experienced team; trainers are, in many cases, elite competitors with an important sports curriculum. It has been chosen by the Puma Team of the Round the World Tour Alicante 2008 as the official school, recognising thus the school’s role in the world of sailing and its work promoting water sports. The Club facilities have showers and changing rooms, activity room, and classrooms for theory lessons with different audiovisual means, as well as café and restaurant.

The Nautical Club has a clear sports vocation and, above all, focused on those sports and activities with the sea as main element and base. Sailing, rowing, or sport fishing are activities that are so inherently linked to the Club that it is difficult to understand this organisation without them. Since the beginning of the Club’s activity, the main idea has been to provide access to the sea to all people who visit the Club. This idea gave birth to the different schools, both sports and for obtaining official qualifications. The Sailing School teaches navigation to those interested in the sea and, above all, to children and teens, offering courses of dinghy sailing, windsurfing, and rowing. Through the teaching of these sports, the School intends to instil essential values, such as responsibility, honesty, teamwork, and care for the environment. It intends to train new navigators and to improve the level of those who are already practising this sport, with the aim of achieving excellence within a team and sports spirit framework. On the other hand, the Nautical Academy professionals, with many years experience, direct the pleasure-boat skipper courses (PER) and the basic navigation courses.




The Nautical School is opened the whole year round and organises summer camps for children and teens during the summer months, with different difficulty levels. These camps are directed by expert trainers and offer all safety guarantees:

Dinghy Sailing “Introductory Course 1”, 17 hours/week from Monday to Friday Boat type: Gamba (group boat) This beginner’s course is the best opportunity to master the basics and learn to sail comfortably without an instructor. “Introductory Course 2” and “Improvement Course”, of 17 hours. Boat type: LASER SB3 or LASER STRATOS The course focuses on improving your seamanship skills and sailing with spinnakers, as well as offering an introduction to trapeze work.

Windsurfing “Introductory Course 1”, 17 hours/week from Monday to Friday Boat type: Race Board. Directed and supervised by highly experienced qualified trainers, participants will learn the essential principles of windsurfing, to keep themselves on the board, to control the sail, the speed, etc. “Improvement Course”, 17 hours/week from Monday to Friday Boat type: Race Board. Aimed at those who have practised windsurfing before and that want to improve. They will learn to control the sail, to turn, to increase sped, and, in short, to feel more comfortable on the board and enjoy.

On the last day of the course, participants will receive a diploma.

Students will be expected to act mature and responsibly.

sample programme schedule


residence/dormitory ―

Living in a residence gives the students the opportunity to practice their Spanish with other students from all over the world. The residence has been carefully chosen by our school staff. During the school year it accommodates students from University and is therefore fully equipped with modern facilities. It is a modern building with cafeteria and restaurant, TV room and Internet room, laundry and several living rooms to relax and the possibility to play football and basketball on special courts on the grounds or swimming. The residence is situated in the university area, about 20 minutes from the school or the centre of Alicante by bus and students will be accompanied to the school and sport camps by monitors. Students will have a twin room of 16m2, which they will share with another student. All rooms are equipped with air-conditioning. The room includes a bathroom with a shower, cupboards and a desk. Furthermore the students can use the internet in their rooms and have a telephone with which they can receive incoming calls from their parents. Two twin rooms, i.e. four students, share a kitchen which is equipped with a microwaves and a fridge.

The residence provides the bed linen and towels, but they must bring their own towels for the beach. Students will have laundry once or twice a week and they should keep their room clean and tidy.

As in any other residence there are some norms the students have to respect. At the beginning of the stay our staff members will make them familiar with the house rules. All the students should arrive the evening before the beginning of the Spanish course and leave the accommodation the day after the end of the Summer Camp. Days before or after are considered extra nights.

residence/dormitory accommodation


― full board with three meals

― some rules in the residence

Regarding the meals, students will have full board: Breakfast: Breakfast in Spain usually

consists of juice or yogurt, hot chocolate, tea or coffee with milk, bread or biscuits, butter and jam or cereals.

Snack during the Sport camp: cereal bar or sandwich, fruit and water.

Lunch: During the week, from Monday

to Friday students taking part in the Sailing or Windsurfing Camp have lunch at the Nautical Club Restaurant or in the Restaurant of the Tennis Club –in booth cases with Zador group leaders-. On Saturday and Sunday students receive usually a packed lunch with two sandwiches (“bocadillos”), fruit and drink, thus students can enjoy the excursions and trips or the beach with Zador School group leaders.

Dinner is around 21:00 or 21:30.

Students can choose the food in buffet restaurant with a variety of dishes every day (starters, vegetables, meat or fish and fruits or dessert).

special dietary requirements should make a note in the enrolment.

Phone calls and Internet: There is a Public Phone at the Residence. Students can use calling cards. Student expenses: Remember that the students should pay their own expenses on excursions if they want to buy soft drinks, ice creams, snacks… We suggest around €10-€15 per day as pocket money.

residence/dormitory accommodation


a 24-hour pick-up service on request ―

Alicante has excellent connections with other cities in Spain and Europe. The majority of the students arrive by plane. The Alicante airport (El Altet) is located 11 km from Alicante and it takes about 30 min from the airport to the city centre. There are domestic and international flights that connect Alicante to the main European and Spanish cities. Transfer service from Alicante airport, bus station or train station is not included in the package price. A representative of the school can pick students up at the airport and bring them directly to their place of accommodation. If you want the transfer service, fill in the corresponding section in the enrolment form, specifying clearly the Airline, the flight number, the date and time of your arrival. Since Alicante airport is small, you will quickly see a person with your name that will be waiting for you when you exit the terminal. Zador Spanish School provides you a 24- hour pick-up service from the airport to go directly to the accommodation. All the students are covered by a medical, accident and travel insurance: INSURANCE INCOMING PLUS, especially designed to cover contingencies in foreigners´ trips taken in Spain, is the most comprehensive and complete insurance on the market and recommended by the main receptive Travel Agencies. Includes 7 types of insurance in 1: Medical assistance, with the highest limit on the market for illness or accident, with repatriation and relocation for health to your country of origin; robbery of, search for and localization of baggage; loss of services previously contracted; delays of trip and baggage; accident while travelling 24 hours; civil liability and legal defence. With continuous 24 hour Service Centre.
