Transfer service from Alicante airport, bus station or train station from 8:00 to 22:00 is included in the Sailing Camp and Windsurfing Camp price. A representative of the Spanish school will pick campers up at the Alicante airport and bring them directly to the host family. Since Alicante airport is small, you will quickly see a person from ZadorSpain with your name that will be waiting for you when you exit the terminal.

From 22:00 to 8:00 or from other airports like Murcia or Valencia there is an extra cost.

If you want to come with your children or organise the trip to Alicante own your own, the easiest way is to arrive to Alicante airport (El Altet).
