If you're a native of León who has been looking for a paragliding flight for a long time, we have to tell you that you have been lucky to come here, because we are aware of how difficult it is to find a place to do paragliding without moving from this province. That's why here we leave you with all the information you need to find an experience that fits in with what you were looking for without leaving León, so that soon enough you can enjoy this magnificent adventure.

In the province of León, you will not find any place to do this activity, but just a couple of hours from there by car you will find an idyllic spot, the Asturian city on the coast of Gijón, where you most certainly will be able to do it. In just 2 hours (if you are leaving from the capital) you will have arrived in these lands and will be ready to enjoy an impressive paragliding flight. Paragliding experiences in this region are waiting for you in these beautiful surroundings of strong contrasts where you can choose between flying through mountainous areas, cliffs or the coast. You will only have to choose what you want to admire from the heights. However, the area with the most paragliding flights is La Providencia, in the north of the province, in the parish of Somió. Here, flights near the coast await you with enviable views of beaches such as those of Peñarrubia or Serín.

Another beautiful place to fly in paragliding can be through Proaza, a remote Asturian village that is embraced by the Trubia River and several streams. Here you can fly over the Senda del Oso, a famous green route that seems to be taken from a fantasy tale and where you can fly over beautiful landscapes of overwhelming green and enjoy the views of the Valdemurio reservoir at a thousand meters high.

Luckily the paragliding flights you can do are quite complete, and you can try them out as you please: with photos, with a video or simple with jump.

On the other hand, it is an enriching and rewarding experience that is easy to enjoy and difficult to miss, and we say this because you don't need anything at all. You will not need any previous experience in this air sport as you will be flying in tandem, so you will be flying together with a professional instructor to whom you will be harnessed with a waistcoat with several safety harnesses. On the other hand, you should not worry about technical materials as the paragliding company will provide you with all the equipment. However, it is important to wear tied shoes, as this is the only thing you will have to take care of.

To fly with a paraglider, you will have to go to a meeting point that you will have previously arranged with your flight instructor. Once there your instructor will explain all the protocols to be followed, how the take-off and landing will be and everything that may affect the flight. Then, when you have no doubts, you'll be equipped with the necessary equipment and soon you'll be ready to fly through the skies in this exciting way that will give you the opportunity to experience the purest form of flying, without the noise of engines or windows obstructing the landscapes you can see from the heights. So yes, it's that easy to fly. You just have to find out for yourself, and come to León, since it will be magical. Enjoy a day and break the monotony as you should. Take your car and fulfill your dream of paragliding in the north of the Iberian peninsula. Needless to say, it is also perfect to make the most of the day and do some sightseeing. We can't think of a better way to say that you've experienced a beautiful region in a genuine way and that you've tried one of the most fun air sports.
