Irene Weiss

Director and founder of Lenguaventura Multiactivity /Kitesurfing Summer camps

Irene is the founder and former director of the Hispalense Spanish language school in Tarifa as well as the founder of Lenguaventura. Born in Switzerland she has been living in Spain since 1988. She is very enthusiastic about languages and foreign countries.When she started the Spanish language school in 1989 it was her dream come true and pretty soon the school was a meeting point for people from all over the world who come to Tarifa to learn Spanish and enjoy the bohemian lifestyle. With idealism and hard work a small language school turned into a multicultural Spanish language centre, focusing on linguistical exchange and Spanish culture. Irene was always convinced that Tarifa, situated at the southernmost tip of Europe, was the perfect place for a real immersion of the Spanish language and culture. Furthermore her passion for outdoor sports makes Tarifa the perfect place for her to live.

Since autumn 2007 Irene left her duties in Hispalense to dedicate all her time to the Lenguaventura programme.

During the Camp Irene ist the contact person for parents.
