Following the success of the 2015 camp, we will again be basing next years’ camp in the stunning surroundings of Desert Springs, located in The Almonzara. The climate here has been described as the best climate in the world, enjoying the warmest, sunniest and driest winter of the whole of the coast of Spain and Europe.
