To paraglide over Gijón, you must first decide if you wish to see the coast or the mountains from the heights. Read on to know the best destinations for paragliding over Gijón, depending on the sights you want to see.

If you want to fly along the coast:

- Cuervo's Crossing. In Gijón, this is a great spot for paragliding. It's in Providencia, and flying here will give you a chance to visit some of the city's most famous sights. While admiring the characteristic massive Asturian cliffs, you will be treated to unparalleled coastal views. You will glide across various beaches between the districts of Gijón and Villaviciosa, including Sern beach, La Cagonera, and, if the weather permits, Estaño beach. Of course, the Isla de la Tortuga will be visible along the route (Turtle Island). This flying area will not only show you these beautiful landscapes but will also provide you with a very pleasant gliding experience due to its gentle north-easterly breezes.

- La Providencia. You can paraglide from La Providencia and find routes that take you in a north-westerly direction. From here, you will see the park of La Providencia and reach the Bay of Gijón to admire the emblematic beach of San Lorenzo and the Baririo de Somió. Avilés. Avilés is a town to the west of the city of Gijón. Paragliding flights here are usually done in Xagó, so you can see the beach of the same name, the city centre, the Avilés estuary and the iconic and avant-garde Óscar Niemeyer International Cultural Centre, which, from the heights, gains even more distinguished charm.

If you want a paragliding flight over the mountain:

- Pico del Sol is a name given to a mountain in Spain. Pico del Sol, in the community of La Camocha, is one of Gijón's most famous mountain sites for paragliding. A paragliding flight from here is a spectacle, as you will enjoy fantastic views of the surrounding countryside and the huge green meadows that surround this location as you glide from a relatively high altitude. You'll be able to see practically the entire Camocha greenbelt and the mines that have been constructed here.

- The Bear Trail. The Bear Path is a greenway that runs parallel to the Las Ubias Natural Park. You will be able to take a walk in perfect silence that will envelop you. You'll be flying over hills that are fully covered in greenery and unending verdant forests. The Trubia and Teverga rivers will be visible.

Try a paragliding flight to get a different perspective of Asturias; the thrill is indescribable, and you won't regret experiencing this airborne sport.
