Darren, fantastic informative insight into the area. The Spanish Tourist Board should sign you up as their British Representative!!! Looking forward to viewing the competition vlogs.
very nice overview. I have been there in 2013 for the Belgium Open. It was great. The British open has also been there the week after, but I did not compet in this Comp. Anyhow, I am looking forward to get there again...
Aditional info for foreign pilots: - Do not shout to local pilots or tandem pilots in the thermal ( like some hangglider pilots from the British nationals have been doing) The fact that you are in a comp doesnt't give you any preference. - Don't tell local pilots to leave local radio frequencies they have been using for a long time ( like some hangglider pilots from the british Nationals have been doing) As a visitior it's your obligation to go on another radio frequencie. - (only for britts) On the narrow road up to takeoff stay on your RIGHT, drive carefully, and do not try to avoid upcomming cars jumping to the left like you would do in England ( like bla bla bla........)
Thanks for that Darren, hoping to come out and explore with my partner soon. looking forward to the eagerly anticipated comp vlog

Thanks Darren... what a great summary of the area. Can't wait to visit!
Thanks for the info...most gracious of you !
Had a great time there 1992/93 flew
ever day, bumped into Colin lark who
used to be a league pilot back in the old days.
The roads and conditions have improved a great deal since the 90's...
Amazing video and loved the talking over little clips with the smooth editing
Thanks Max! $5 in the post to you ;-)
Best video since Breaking Bad

And I am looking forward to your competition videos... Cannot wait for it
Beautiful place there mate.
Thanks Darren.
Awesome mate! what about the months of the year? from which/until what month is it good to go?!
It's actually flyable pretty much all year round. But from my experience it's probably very good from around June to August / September.

Sorry Ignacio - I didn't do any of those things.
Are there any local places (schools) to rent a hang glider that you know of? It’s near impossible to bring a HG from the states.
To rent in Spain? I'm not sure, but you could contact Joel Miron - he runs a local school. I don't have his details, but google is your friend...
