If it´s sunny (quite normal) thermic flight is just perfect here. If it´s windy, save yourself the trip, being in a corner of the island, this place can get very windy. The take off is very wide and clean but it can get tricky when wind is not constant. Official landing spot is the football field at Piso Fuerte, when standing at the take off and looking straight to Agaete, the field is at 2 o clock (50º rigth), follow the ridge on your right hand side and keep going straight. Being a bit brownish-gray it's not so easy to spot from the launch but there are quite a few landing places near the road on the way up, so keep an eye on them while driving. Getting here without knowing is not recommended at all, there is a little white church near San Isidro where you start your way up the mountain, after 10 k drive there is a dangerous road split and you turn right, after that it´s a spider web of dirt roads for about 3 km more. ( Good luck ) http://www.zonasdevuelo.com/zonasvuelo.html?fz=659 Vuelo termico . Sin embargo los techos no son muy altos . Y las distancias tampoco son muy allá . Pero es un vuelo divertido y relativamente sencillo . Accesos: Para poder llegar al despegue, hay que ir con alguien que conozca el camino. Sino es imposible llegar.
