Paragliding Coll de Rates Sur Antenna

Located in the province of Alicante, Valencia, you can enjoy wonderful flights over the orchards in the Jalon Valley. Experienced pilots can land at the launch sites, and a flight to the sea is also achievable. Flights are best from late winter to early summer when you can make the most of the thermals. You can either enjoy a small soaring flight or engage in thermal flying, wondering, "When will I come down?" Cross-country flights are possible towards the Serra de Serella (W) and Serra del Ferrer. Special Features and Webcam: As of October 2008, there have been discussions between local pilots and the town hall of Parcent to clean up and expand the landing field. The field owner is requesting payment for this. Meanwhile, two poles have been cemented, with a possible chain to be added soon. Access to the take-off has been promised.
