Altea Hills paragliding

I can post a hundred foto's of pilots hesitating to fly our site near Calpe. Just like this one.

There is always a scare, a nervousness.

It is not our favourite site. It is our site where everywhere else it is blown out. Then this site is mostly flyable because it is protected by the strong westerlies due to the Aitana ridges.

What is stressing as well is flying over the sea to reach landing beach.

But once pilots are in the air, the flying is smooth, dynamic.

Even if you permit me, a bit boring for most pilots. As it is a soaring site with nothing much to do if the cross to Bernia Hills isn't working.

But, and this is the bonus for this site, it is quoted in books, magazines in the top5 of most beautiful paragliding sites along the European mediterranean coastline.
And that line is looooooooooong.

Later in the day, there was some little flying at the most laidback site in the world. Relaxing at Cabo de Santa Pola.
