13 days consecutive flying so far. Not so bad for winter, I wonder if any winterdestination can say that. I doubt it.
And it was bingo again today. After watching the calm sea, we were heading inland to fly at Carrasqueta. Thermals were present, as cloudsuck was. Good flying in the learning curve of Marcel German pilit and Ronny Swedish pilot. Take off at Carrasqueta is always a bit challenging as winds are always strong at 1100 m. But in no time, Marcel Belgian pilot was following Rafa to make the transition to the village of Jijona. While Ismael, Ronny, and other Marcel were enjoying the wide views at Carrasqueta.

Toplandings to get the cars back down, just before the clouds were reaching the top of the hill.
Carrasqueta will be cycled again in the Vuelta (tour of Spain), Contador, Valverde, Armstrong and other dopies will struggle to get up that 'col de Carrasquete', also famous for its weekens motorbike racing.
