Acabo de realizar el curso IPPI 3 y las sensaciones son muy buenas. Lo mejor: siempre buscan una alternativa según las condiciones meteorológicas, incluso en un día de lluvia nos... read more llevaron a un polideportivo donde poder practicar conceptos importantes como las comprobaciones prevuelo y técnicas de control de la vela. Muy agradecida a Luisma, Jorge y especialmente a Iván y su infinita paciencia y calma en los despegues. Ha sido una semana fantástica que espero repetir en el futuro.
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.
A professional course and discipline instructors. Location is at central of the town, could easily to have food and drink in many bars.
I flew with the guys in September 2023 and have nothing but positive to share about the XC camp. Everything was organized professionally, including detailed morning briefings, logistics, and flights.... read more Jose is good as an instructor and as a person. It was a pleasure to deal with him and Zero Gravity. I had tons of fun and will definitely come again.

Fantastic week flying with Zero Gravity in Algodonales. A great time flying XC in the area. Very professional outfit with the most knowledgeable guides and instructors in the area.... read more I booked accommodation through Zero Gravity and stayed at the Owl and The Moon apartment which is owned by Jorge - everything we needed and a great place to stay. I’ll be back next year. Thanks for everything!

These guys are the real deal - great pilots, excellent teachers and dedicated to getting you in the air. I've just completed the EP and already booked my return trip.... read more Their unique combination of EP lessons and tandem flying really allows you to get a feel for gliding and gain the confidence for solo flight. Couldn't recommend more
Three things will (most likely) happen after you learn with Zero Gravity (1) you will fly - solo! (2) you will find your tribe (3) you will want to come... read more back to Zero Gravity. And soon! Optional 4): for many crazy ones like us, you will find yourself getting addicted to ZG‘s team are big on safety, teach amazingly and are SO motivated to help their students learn well, enjoy their flight while being safe. It doesn’t get better than Algodonales in Spain and ZG are the local eagles 🦅 They know their terrain, have eons of experience and are deeply dedicated. An example would be - when the weather conditions don’t permit closer flying sites, the guys will drive you two hours away to the coast if it is flyable there! 🙏🏼🙌🏼 “Who are these mysterious local rockstars” you ask? José, Luisma, Jorge, Iván, George 🙂 🤩 Despite the tangible techniques that one learns on the skill, there is something about paragliding that makes it gloriously esoteric ❤️ Even for the least spiritual of us - flying without an engine will make us feel alive; we grab the ephemeral even if for a few minutes. And move outside a comfort zone that is both exciting and yet strangely comfortable. Final words: You‘ve got to experience it! It is beautiful and simply epic with Zero Gravity. (ps: no commissions awarded for this review, I promise) 😄 And lift- off!

Come fly with the vultures, with Zero Gravity on your side you won't regret it. Went to Zero Gravity to do a one week paragliding coach. Being a pilot... read more from long years I have not being doing enough air time, I look for a couching course found Zero Gravity and I could not be more satisfied with the experience. The Zero Gravity team is professional, competent and above all are great persons. I was joined with a group of 4 other, we were all in different levels. We were five pilots and three instructors a very good ratio on my opinion. It was a risky week since the weather conditions were not the great, but in the end it turn all right. We fly in every days, normally in the morning and in the afternoon. Zero Gravity team knows the terrain and they saved no efforts into ensuring we could fly (all in good and safety conditions). It was not part of my course but I also took the opportunity to attend the theoretical lessons. The content was great, good space and material conditions. The subjects were presented clear way and I find it a big add on. After this experience I can say that I will definitely come back next year, and fully recommend Zero Gravity for all wishing to initiate themselves in paragliding or improve their skills. A big thank you to Zero Gravity team and Algodonales people.

Thank you very much for your kind advice, the patience and a perfect week with lot of airtime! See you next time...

There are so many beautiful sites available in the area to fly depending on different weather conditions and these guys will always find productive activities for you to do to improve your flying technique when the conditions aren’t good for flying. For that reason, anyone looking to complete EP/CP in the UK I’d recommend these guys as flying conditions are quite often better than those in the UK allowing for you to learn and progress quicker.
