Surely you have been surfing the internet for some time looking for the best paragliding flights in Cantabria and luckily for you, with us you will discover all the secrets of this exciting aerial sport. Keep reading because this province has some locations to fly on a paragldier that leave no one indifferent and that are a real natural spectacle for the eyes.

Paragliding in Cantabria is easier than you might think and you can find a number of places where you can do it that will leave you speechless, and that will give you a rich and diverse variety of landscapes. To make sure that you don't have any drawbacks choosing a destination for this adventure, here are the best places on the beach, in the mountains and in rural environments where you can try paragliding:

- If you want a paragliding flight over the beach you have to go to Castro-Urdiales, a small coastal town in Cantabria with an amazing beauty. Generally, flights in this province will take you to discover the town of Islares, a dreamlike spot. From here you can fly over the river Agüera, the estuary and the beach of Oriñón, the beach of Arenillas or the Isla Cercada island, letting yourself be carried away by the pilot at the controls and the air currents.

- If you want to fly over more rural environments, don't miss the chance to paraglide over Los Tornos. It is an idyllic journey where you can experience an overwhelming peace. The silence is absolute and you will enjoy a landscape completely covered in green, as here you will glide over beautiful hills full of extensive meadows, such as the Lanestosa valley. The great thing about a paragliding flight over Los Tornos is that it is an interprovincial trip, as, due to its location, you pass through Cantabria, Vizcaya and Burgos at an average altitude of around 960 metres. We have to say that this is a classic destination for paragliding in the north of Spain, so if you want to make your debut in a mythical place, this is the area for you. From here you will have views of the Puerto de la Sía, the Zalama and if the mist doesn't get on the way, you will even be able to see the coast.

- Finally, we have to talk about something that is beyond any ordinary flight, paragliding in the Picos de Europa. If these mountain ranges are already impressive, imagine seeing them from above. Without a doubt, this is one of our (and many people's) favourite spots and is an overwhelming experience. If you were looking for a paragliding flight in the mountains, there is no better location to do so than this mountain range, and for that you will have to go to the municipality of Liébana, a town perfectly wedged between the Hermida Gorge, the Peña Sagra mountain range, the High Valleys of Nansa and Saja and Alto Campoo, the Fuentes Carrionas and Fuente Cobre-Montaña Palentina Nature Reserve and at the foot of the Picos de Europa National Park itself. A paragliding flight awaits here between deep valleys full of the greenest vegetation you can imagine. That's what you'll have at your feet, but when you look up you'll be able to make out the majestic Picos de Europa with their peaks, always tinted in white with snow.

Now the difficult part is up to you: to choose one of them, or why not, even try all the paragliding flights that Cantabria has to offer. Decide what kind of environment you would like to enjoy from the air (mountain, coast or rural) and venture out to try this great sport that will give you one of the most rewarding experiences of all. You can find all kinds of plans, such as traditional paraglider flights, with photos, video, as a couple or acrobatic flights for an extra adrenaline rush. A sensation that will embrace you and for which you will only need comfortable, sports clothes and closed shoes. The rest is all about simply relaxing and enjoying the ride because since the flights are held in tandem style, that is, attached to a professional instructor.
