Good Vibes, Great Waves, and Even Better Friends.

November 2024 edition

November was unforgettable for the Salty Chicas Surf Retreat! From the moment everyone arrived, we could feel the excitement in the air. 

Our chicas came from all over - France, Slovakia, the UK, Germany, and Belgium - bringing their unique stories and energy. 

Day 1: Welcome to Paradise

Saturday was a day to settle in, get to know each other, and dive into the magic of our retreat. The evening kicked off with a cozy welcome dinner featuring Spanish tapas and welcome presents for each chica. By the end of the night, strangers became friends, setting the tone for the week ahead.

Day 2: Surf’s Up and Volcano Sunsets

The adventure began with a 5-day surf course led by energetic Carmen. Whether complete beginners or chicas with a bit of surf experience, everyone stood up on their boards by the end of the first day! The joy was contagious.

Post-surf, after a well-deserved lunch and siesta, we hiked a nearby volcano. With Salty Chica Marie as our guide, we were treated to a stunning 360° view and a sunset. We spotted chipmunks, laughed a lot, and soaked in the beauty of nature. Dinner followed in town at a vibrant Greek restaurant where we fully embraced the Corralejo vibe.

Day 3: Yoga, Paella, and Pure Bliss

After another exhilarating morning of surfing, we returned to the house for a relaxing siesta. As the sun began to dip, we stretched it all out with a calming yoga session led by Lara.

Dinner that night was a highlight: live cooking with Sofia, who whipped up the most mouthwatering paella. Empty plates and happy faces said it all—delicious!

Day 4: Surf, Bachata, and Mexican Feasts

The day began with surf lessons and Luisa snapping some epic action shots. Lunch was fresh and light, followed by a sunset yoga session to ease any sore muscles.

Dinner was a festive Mexican feast at the house, and just when we thought the night couldn’t get better, a bachata class got everyone moving! Dancing, laughing, and soaking in the good vibes, we ended the night with drinks in town, enjoying the buzz of the city.

Day 5: Surf Skating and Chill Vibes

Another surf-filled morning got us pumped for the day. In the afternoon, we hit the skate park with Vicky for a surf skate lesson, and Luisa was there capturing all the fun moments. Everyone gave it their all, and the laughter was non-stop.

That evening, we cozied up at the house for a homemade pizza night and a surf movie. It was the perfect mix of chill and fun, bonding over stories and shared experiences.

Day 6: Dunes, Friendship, and a BBQ

After our morning surf, we ventured to the breathtaking dunes of the natural park with Nora and Luisa. Walking barefoot in the sand, snapping photos, and taking a dip in the ocean brought us even closer as a group. We finished the day with a stunning sunset and drinks at a lounge, toasting to new friendships.

Back at the house, a BBQ dinner awaited, complete with challenge games that had us laughing until our sides hurt. The creativity and improvisation on display were next-level fun!

Day 7: Lobos Island and Farewell Feels

For our final day, we embarked on a dreamy boat trip to Lobos Island. Some chicas hiked up the volcano, others relaxed on the beach, and a few braved the waters for snorkeling. Lunch on the beach was pure bliss, followed by one last sunset yoga session to reflect on the week.

Our farewell dinner in town was unforgettable: arepas, nachos, and drinks, followed by a beach party complete with night swimming and a spectacular drone show. It was the perfect send-off to an incredible week.

Day 8: Goodbyes and See You Soons

Saturday arrived too soon, and it was time for goodbyes (or see-you-soons!). Some chicas extended their stay for a bit more sunshine, while others reluctantly headed home with memories to last a lifetime. Thank you for joining - Lou, Magda, Kathy, Katy, Clara, Alice, Shana! See you soon, chicas! 🤙
