Un día inolvidable. Lo que empezó con una excursión en familia para acompañar a mi madre en su primer vuelo en biplaza, terminó siendo mi primera experiencia también. No... read more pude resistirme. Sobre todo, la profesionalidad y amabilidad del instructor, Iván, nos transmitió mucha seguridad y nos permitió disfrutar y conocer aspectos interedantes de este deporte. Se nota lo mucho que disfruta haciendo su trabajo. En cuanto al vuelo, es un espectáculo difícilmente descriptible. Siguiendo unas pocas y sencillas instrucciones de Iván consigues tener la sensación de estar moviéndote con el aire mientras disfrutas de unas vistas espectaculares.

Thank you Pablo, Luisma, and Ivan for such a wonderful experience! Can't wait to fly again 😊

If I could have given 6 stars, I would. I have no doubt that learning to paraglide with Zero Gravity has been one of the best experiences of my life.... read more I was apprehensive at first - heights make me very uncomfortable. I booked the combined EP + CP course as a personal challenge, to overcome fear and to experience flight. The instructors Luisma, Ivan, Jorge and José are the pinnacle of professionalism, patient but firm, with excellent English and tons of passion, and built up my confidence through a multifaceted curriculum of theory, ground handling, tandem and solo flying until I was soaring and relaxed in the sky! They are all extraordinary pilots, have vast local expertise about terrain and weather, and are meticulously safety-aware, including a healthy mistrust of other pilots outside of the school. If the conditions and situation were not perfect for learning, we did not fly - and this was exactly what I wanted as a timid beginner, and this bolstered my confidence when it was time for me to launch. We were almost always the first to each launch site too - completing our first flights of the day before the other schools arrived. Algodonales is a beautiful little pueblo blanco nestled in a valley with stunning scenery all around - dramatic hills with geologic formations, rolling farmland, lakes Moorish castles. The visibility was amazing.  We did the course in February 2024 and the weather was generally great, with a few days of rain which kept the vegetation lush and green. Apparently Algodonales gives you more flyable days of the year than anywhere else in the world, because you need a launch site for every possible wind direction. On days when we couldn't fly, the instructors were kind enough to take us to nearby attractions like Cueva de la Pileta, where we saw twenty thousand year old cave paintings and incredible stalactites. Out of pure luck, the Carnival took place on the middle Saturday of our course, where the whole town comes out in fancy dress and dances to music on floats pulled by local tractors! They burned an effigy by the church on the Sunday. The food in Algodonales is very tasty and very cheap if you're coming from London. All across the town there are natural mineral water springs which you can drink from freely. We went on runs in the evenings and hikes up the neighbouring mountains and spent some time in Ronda - Algodonales would have been a nice holiday even if we weren't learning to fly! By the end of the two weeks, I had 19 flights under my belt (4 in tandem), at 5 different sites. I had seen a 70 year old student fly happily. And most importantly, I knew that I had taken a profound, courageous, and memorable step towards living the life I had always dreamed of: as a paragliding club pilot, adventuring through the atmosphere in zero gravity. I will be back as soon as I can to do a Low Air Time Pilot guided tour.

An absolutely fantastic group of men who did so much over and above what was expected to ensure our stay was so very rewarding and entertaining! I can't wait to... read more visit again
