Hi,

I am off to spain flying in March and need to get an idea of sites in southern spain. We will be heading to Algodonales (suprise suprise) and need to know the sites within 300 K of that area so... granada .. sierra Nevada etc.

I have been to a few before such as Teba, Loja, Padul and Baza but ideally could use some info on other good HG sites.

So if anyone can help here that would be gretly appreicated

Regards and good flying all...

There's several. These are the sites that I know of in Spain and Portugal (except the Azores). The circle is a 300km radius from Algodonales. Open in Google Earth for more details...

A big “Hola”(Hello) to everyone from Àger Spain!

You can have access to four world-class flying sites in one trip:

“we go fly” is now based in Àger, which was host to both the British Open in 2006 and the Paragliding World Cup in 2007. Not too far away is the infamous site of Castejon de Sos, which has hosted countless World cup and international paragliding competitions over the years. We can also use Berga and Organya.

Àger is in the “foothills” (still mountains by British standards!!) of the Pyrenees, Àger is basked in warm and reliable flying air throughout the autumn. Àger has great X-C potential is famed for its evening restitution. The Catalonian corner of the pre-Pyrenees boasts some of the best X-C flying on the planet. As northern Europe starts to succumb to stable air or even become cold and grey!

“wegofly” offers paragliding holidays in Àger Spain. There are cheap flights into Barcelona and Reus where we can collect you. The Àger valley has beautiful old Spanish towns that await you, with quiet uncrowded skies. We are situated at the foot of Montsec, in the Vall d'Àger. It's a protected area of countryside for tourism conservation, providing adventure sports and activities.

Please take a look at our website www.wegofly.co.uk for more info

We look forward to having you fly with us soon.

Happy Flights!
