If you are from Pontevedra or have visited this region, you would have noticed the immense natural and architectural splendour this province offers. There are several tourist attractions in this area, including the spectacular Rías Baixas, tiny villages in the vicinity with many granaries, and the old town of Pontevedra, one of Galicia's best maintained.

If you don't have time to visit all of these locations, or if you're weary of seeing them from the same perspective, here is something you won't be able to resist. See Pontevedra from a unique perspective - from the air!

A light aircraft flight will give you a stunning panoramic perspective of Pontevedra, allowing you to see how the various urban centres blend seamlessly with the Rías Baixas, the lush meadows, and the sea. When we decide to do a light aircraft flight in Pontevedra for the first time, we are likely to have numerous concerns, which we will attempt to address.

The first question that everyone who conducts this activity for the first time has is, "What type of flight is ideal for me?" Following that, we'll go over the many forms of light aircraft flying that you can undertake.

What kind of flying adventures can I have in Pontevedra?

- If this is your first time flying in a light aircraft, the baptism of flight in a light aircraft is the perfect option. You will fly over the city's most popular tourist sights, with the pilot narrating anecdotes or interesting facts about the different places. The duration of this exercise is usually between 15 minutes and 1 hour, depending completely on the organizing company.

- If you've already flown a microlight and want to expand your horizons, getting behind the controls of a light aircraft and becoming a pilot for the day is the perfect option. This activity usually begins with a brief theoretical orientation where you will be taught the fundamentals of flight that you will need to know to take control of the plane. You will take control of the aircraft once you have completed this training. You will not have to worry about anything because you will be joined by an expert pilot with additional controls similar to those found in a driving school car. So if manoeuvring is difficult at any point during the flight, the pilot will intervene. You will feel a unique adrenaline rush when you operate one of these aircraft for the first time.

- If the other two options don't appeal to you and you want a more powerful experience, then aerobatic flying is for you. This activity will leave you breathless and wanting more as you get into a light aircraft designed to perform the most incredible manoeuvres. You will reach a point where you won't know whether you are upside down, sideways or plummeting. This type of light aircraft flight is only suitable for the fearless.

Once you have decided on the type of light aircraft flight you want to do, it's time to see from which aerodrome we carry out the activity.

What areas of Pontevedra can I fly over in a light aircraft?

- This light aircraft flight may be taken from Vigo airport, 15 minutes from the city centre. This aerodrome is ideal for both novices and experienced ultralight pilots. You can fly in a Cessna 172 flight which is one of the most powerful aeroplanes. This light aircraft ride will take you over scenic sections of the province, including the Castro Mountain, the San Sebastián castle, and the low estuaries and Cíes islands.
