Just had an awsome week on the cheap in El Medano, can thoroughly reccomend it as a great windy spot especially if you like waves as the surf on the harbour wall can be epic.
We had appox 4 days of 30knots plus (8m Blade Vertigo) and the rest was nice 12m weather with small waves. It's not the best place for a beginner (gusty on the beach) but for intermediate and better its well woth it.
The locals were all real friendly too, each helping to land/launch kites when needed.
The Shinn Centre is right on the beach too with all the latest kites to demo inc, Naish,Flexi,Airush,North,Best and Blade, and obviously they have the full range of Nobile boards available.
