What to expect

Whether you're young or old, treat yourself in a two-seater paraglider with an expert pilot, and fly in the airspace above the Bay of Confital, completely free of turbulence thanks to the laminar trade winds.

The starting point is the Auditorium Alfredo Kraus in Las Palmas. You'll be taken to the launch site in the Giles area, where you'll be explained the process of taking off and landing and given information about the trade winds and the possible flight paths. Once you are in the air, enjoy this unique experience, and fly majestically like an eagle or sportily like a swallow.

The flight lasts about 20 minutes and you fly depending on the wind in the area of Ladera Alta, Los Giles and over the sea to the edges of Las Palmas, at an altitude between 200m and 500m. An extensive landing approach brings you to Las Palmas flying over the famous beach of Las Canteras, finishing gently on the square next to the auditorium.
