  The take-off is simple and with out any obstructions. Although in front of the take-off is being built and there's a drop straight down which you should be aware of

Landing
  With enough height it is better to land on the beach called 'Velilla' In the cove from 'La Galera' good landing skills are required. Beginners should only fly with the support of a professional flying guide from here.

Direction
 

Driving on the main Highway N340 in the direction of Motril after about 3 klms on the right hand side before a sharp curve is a blue hall.

Turn left there is also a sign 'Lomo del Gato' The street is small and leads up to an Observatory, where you can park the car and then walk to the take-off. Which is about another 30 meters higher. It is also possible to drive on the dirt road to the plastic green house and park also.


Dangers / Info's
 

The plastic greenhouse is the point of no return and from that level you should fly directly to the landing place. Don't try to gain height at the greenhouse or you might not make it. Around the landing place are cranes, watch out for those.

  • Attention! The Take-off is now owned by Antonio Castro and requires a fee of 15€ for the week. For an up date take read the news webpage.
