Guided XC weeks: one base in Granada, the best site every day
Fly a guided week with Veleta Paragliding: one base in Granada and, every day, the best site the forecast allows in eastern Andalusia.
Saturday to Saturday, six flying days. We take care of everything on the ground; you bring your wing and focus on flying.
Where we fly: Pegalajar, Sierra Nevada and Almería
Pegalajar (Jaén)
Venue of the Paragliding World Cup (2026 and April 2027, Superfinal 2025), with flights of more than 100 km over flat olive groves.
Sierra Nevada
High-mountain flying, with snow-capped peaks of more than 3,000 m.
Almería
Take-offs for both south and north winds, and very good thermal flying, even in winter.
Your guide: Olmo León
Olmo León, a paraglider pilot based in Granada with ten years of flying in Andalusia. He was the first, and so far the only, pilot to cross Andalusia from coast to coast: the X-Andalucía, 536 km from the Atlantic to the Mediterranean, flying and hiking, solo and completely unsupported. He is also the Andalusian Hike & Fly champion (2025). FEADA Expert pilot (D3) and tandem pilot.
