It's just a very, very good place to be and has an incredible team. This isn't just a place to stay that also offers surf lessons, staying at Gota Dagua is a unique experience. Surf coach Romi was great, after just 3 lessons I was already able to stand on the board and surf a wave on my own. After surfing you often have some free time to visit the beach/promenade of caparica (or the town itself). Expect lots of nice places to have lunch or a quick snack and lots of (often advanced) surfers in the water. If you want, you can also get a board and wetsuit to try surfing on your own. Dinner is at 19:00 and expect to get a different, very tasty dish and dessert. Just let them know if you're vegan/vegetarian or have any allergies so they can serve you something different. After dinner is when things get interesting. Some days you'll visit a local bar (like the warm-up bar, which is very chill and has some darts-boards hanging in the back), other days you might go to Lisbon to go to different clubs until the early hours. They really know where to be to get the best cocktails or live music or the best atmosphere. I was here during low-season, meaning the group was smaller and the weather not always perfect. But, the people that I met were very nice and I had a really good time here with them and the Gota Dagua team. Already planning to go back next year. Thanks for the wonderful week. Many thanks to Anastácio, Jacki, Maja and Dario!
