What are the best areas for paragliding in Alicante?

- You have several companies that organize this experience from Alicante capital. However, the characteristics of the paraglider mean that a somewhat elevated hillside or place is required to take off. That's why from the meeting point you will have to move to nearby locations such as the hill of Palomaret, very close to the town of Agost . It is the place of reference for most paragliders with an altitude that can exceed 800 meters. They will allow you to admire peaks such as those of Maigmó or Ventós in addition to the Sierra del Sit as part of protected areas for their natural value.

In addition to enjoying the tranquility of the basic walk through the sky that lasts around 20 minutes, in Agost you will also find the opportunity to go one step further by joining an aerobatic flight. In these, the maneuvers that make you notice the G forces on you are prioritized, which is achieved with various types of rotation.

- Another recommended paragliding site is Santa Pola . In this town of the Bajo Vinalopó region, paragliding flights offer an incredible balcony to the Costa Blanca. In tandem with the pilot you will get to see natural treasures such as the small island of Tabarca in the background and, without taking off from the beach, the Santa Pola Lighthouse watching the transfer of the ships that cross the Levantine coast. When you are above the sea, you will move at a distance of water between 200 meters and 300. By the way, if you feel like trying the experience at the same time as your best friend or your partner, simultaneous flights departing in this area with two paragliders at the same time.

If you are spending a few free days in Benidorm , keep in mind that along with the classic sun and nap alternatives, the paraglider is also an option with which you will be ensuring a different plan. In the same way as in the previous cases, you will have to leave the town center to undertake the adventure to a clear area and at a certain altitude but that will not prevent you from looking at the famous skyline composed of the impressive skyscrapers of this beach destination.

- Back to Alicante, there is the alternative of paragliding on San Juan Beach . After the approach to the location from which to take the flight, the pilot will try to approach you to San Joan so that you can enjoy the most known part of the Alicante coast from an average of 1000 meters.

- Another occasion to see the beach while you are on the paraglider is with the flights from El Altet , a district of the city of Elche. The perspective that you will get if you do it will have the Mediterranean as its main character, watching how Playa Lisa and Playa del Pinet bathe. And if Spanish is not your mother tongue, in this location the instructors can assist you in English, in German, in French and even in Dutch.

With this radiography of the province you can be clear about the basic flight points of Alicante. However, if you are in Dénia, Benilloba, Xixona or Onil you will also find instructors to take you to them. Ah! and do not forget to smile because in most cases you can hire a video that you will take yourself with a GoPro camera attached to a pole.
