How to get to our surf school - How to get here
The nearest airport to the Algarve is Faro, which is served by many airlines at low fares. With a distance of only 75 minutes, it is the ideal choice for your journey to our surf school in Aljezur. For a relaxed arrival and departure, we recommend flights in the afternoon.
If you want to travel via Lisbon, the journey time by car is around 4 hours. Alternatively, you can take the bus or train to Lagos (approx. 4 hours). We will be happy to pick you up from there so that you can get to the surf camp in comfort. No matter which way you choose - we look forward to welcoming you to MissionToSurf!
Getting to the surf camp by car
The distance from Faro airport to Arrifana is about 110km. From Faro, take the A22 highway in the direction of Lisboa/ Portimao until the end. Then continue on the main road to Aljezur (approx. 20 minutes). Shortly before Aljezur you come to a crossroads, where you turn left towards Vale da Telha (steep ascent). When you reach the hill, turn left. Follow the road through Vales. Keep right at the next junction. You will then pass the Vale da Telha Hotel and come to a large traffic circle. There you take the third exit and follow the road for approx. 500m and you have reached your destination.
Travel by train or bus from Faro to Lagos
In front of the entrance to the airport terminal you will find a cab rank and the Eva bus stop. You can take the bus (line 14 or 16) or a cab to the Avendia central bus station or to Faro train station. Both stations are located in the center and are only about 200m away from each other.

Rental car

As a general rule, renting for longer (at least 1 week) is cheaper. The prices for a week are between EUR 70 and EUR 150 for a small car. The provider www.marinarentacar.com will give you a good price if you tell them that you are coming from MissionToSurf Camp. Otherwise, we recommend checking the usual comparison sites to find the best price.
