The Travel Experience

How do pilots get around?

In Spain, transportation is a passionate. Barcelona's electric scooters zip through the streets, while Madrid's metro system connects historic landmarks with efficiency. Flamenco-infused rhythms echo in the air as colorful buses traverse picturesque routes, turning daily commutes into a fiesta. High-speed AVE trains whisk passengers through the diverse Spanish landscapes, from sun-soaked beaches to the rugged beauty of the Pyrenees. You can literally get anywhere, in an affordable way.

Many pilots tend to rent a small campervan to travel between flying sites, and use park4night to navigate the overnight stays.

Landed out? Ask for a ride or stay for a meal with a local family that just happened to set plates.

Is it safe to travel in ?

Spain is generally a safe destination, with a well-developed tourism infrastructure and friendly locals. However, it's high on the list for mugging and pickpocketing, so keep your belongings secure, valuables out of sight, and be aware of your surroundings. As for the car and van muggings, we suggest to keep things out of window sight, and tag your paragliding gear.

Disclaimer: Travelers are solely responsible for conducting thorough research on local safety conditions before embarking on any journey.

What is the local currency?

Today many prices are still shown in both currencies.

Local language

Spanish, or Castilian, is the official language spoken throughout the country. However, Spain recognizes other co-official languages in certain regions, such as Catalan, Galician, and Basque. These languages are integral to regional identity.

What to eat when you are hungry?

Bienvenidos to the tantalizing world of Spanish cuisine, starting of course with their famous paella. It is a vibrant medley of saffron-infused rice with seafood, chicken, or rabbit, capturing the essence of Spanish gastronomy.

Tapas are the next on the list of things to eat while your are in Spain. They are small dishes that are often shared. From spicy patatas bravas to garlic shrimp (gambas al ajillo), each tapa is a burst of flavor that defines Spanish social dining. Basque tapas are slightly different, more of a single mouthful of a combination of tapas flavors.

Don't leave without trying some local jamón – whether it's the rich jamón ibérico or classic serrano, these thinly sliced cured hams showcase Spain's dedication to charcuterie perfection. For cheese lovers, there is queso manchego, a nutty sheep's milk cheese.

Indulge in the sweet finale with churros and chocolate, and wash it all down with sangria, the fruity wine punch that embodies the spirit of a Spanish fiesta.

Spanish cuisine is a vibrant celebration on a plate, a dance of flavors that invites you to join the culinary party. So, amigos, pull up a chair and grab a plate,¡buen provecho!
