Paragliding Alpera 2 Despuege del Bosque

Located in the Castilla la Mancha region of Spain, this paragliding site offers a takeoff height of 1128 meters with a height difference of approximately 160 meters. The site is rarely used but offers opportunities for thermal soaring and some cross-country (XC) flights. The site record is 25.6 km. The landing area is very spacious. However, pilots need to be cautious of the wind shadow created by the wind turbines when ridge soaring. To access the takeoff point, start from Alpera and head towards Casas Ibañez. Turn right towards La Hunde, then left towards Cueva de la Vieja. Leave these directions at a very wide curve and continue straight. At the next fork, turn right and follow a 6 km path. You will find a sign indicating 'Muela de Tortosilla'. Follow the path to the right until you reach the last wind turbine. Park there and follow the ridge to the right for less than a hundred meters. There is no marked path, but you will find a space to lay out a paraglider. The maximum elevation difference is 200 meters.
