Spain has many peaks over 3,000 m (9,000 feet), perfect for launching into the thermals with a paraglide or hang glide. From the peaks of the Sierra Nevada a flight allows views of the mountains, valleys and the Mediterranean just to the south. Flyers use a number of areas as launch zones, one of the most frequented being the control tower of Borreguiles. In the Sierra de Gredos south of Ávila, Piedrahita serves as a base village for the nearby launch of Puerta de la Peña Negra. In the Aragón Pyrenees, the area to the north the Village of Castejon de Sos is frequented by flyers. Without experience or your own equipment, guide services in these areas and others require tandem flights with an experienced pilot. These cost between 40-50 Euro per. Arrangements are best made in advance. Questions can be directed to the Real Federación Aeronáutico Español.
