Accommodation

You will be staying in pleasant accomodation in a charming small Spanish town, one of the famous "Pueblos Blancos" - the enchanting "White Villages" of Andalucia. There are apartments with double rooms for 2, 4 or 6 people. Included in the price is a shared double room and shared bathroom. There would be an extra cost to have a single room with shared bathroom, and a bit more for a single en-suite room (with private bathroom), if available. If you have any special requirements, let us know and we will see what we can do!

Transport to flying sites and XC retrieves
With fully equipped vehicles and dedicated drivers to reach the take-off and landing sites, your guides will do their best to get you flying. You don't waste time trying to find the best places to fly. Our paragliding guided holidays are run by qualified instructors who's interest is not just with those pilots that fly the furthest. They will take an active interest in the ability and progress of everyone in the group. We want you to enjoy your time here and fly as much as possible!

What isn't included in the price of the trip?

Anything not listed as being included in the price, isn't included. For example, the following things aren't included: Airline flights; alternative activities; meals.

Airline flights & airport transfers

Airline flights are not included in the price. You will have to arrange your own flight tickets to one of the nearby international airports: Malaga, Seville or Jerez. There are many airlines that fly to these, some at very competitive prices.

Once you arrive in Spain everything will be taken care of. You will be picked up on arrival, and taken back to the airport at the end of your trip.

Airport transfers will only be included in the cost on the designated arrival and departure days. If you book flights on other days then you will have to make your own arrangements for airport transfers.

It's best if everyone is on the same flight, but we understand that this isn't always possible, especially as people may be travelling from different places. To minimize unnecessary delays for the airport transfer on the outbound flight, you should book your flight to be at the arrival airport at the same time or earlier than the main group's flight. On the return flight you should ensure that your flight is at the same time or later than the main group's flight.

Alternative activities
In case of bad weather making it unflyable, there are many alternative activities that can be arranged to keep you entertained and make the most of your trip to Spain, for example: Reserve repack clinics; Spanish culture: Enchanting Andalusian 'Pueblas Blancas' (white villages); famous Spanish cities: Ronda, Seville, Malaga and Cadiz; museums and archeological tours; Spanish flamenco guitar workshop; Spanish bodegas (wineries). Spanish nature: Natural parks, including Grazalema with amazing landscapes, animals and forests. Adventure activities: Hiking/trekking, mountain biking, canoeing, canyoning and go karting.
