About Fly Spain

Expand your horizons!

If you want to share the exhilaration of paragliding in a stunning location, whether a complete beginner or experienced pilot, then join us at our bases in Spain and Wales for the time of your life!

Contrary to popular belief, paragliding is not the preserve of extreme sports fanatics and is enjoyed by men and women alike of all ages and fitness levels. Come and see what you are missing!

You can learn alongside some of the best pilots in the industry, to the high standards that has earned both our schools in Wales and Spain the highly regarded accreditation of the British Hang-gliding and Paragliding Association. We are the only BHPA liscenced School with a full time base abroad here in Spain.

The wonderful climate we enjoy in Spain all year round and the UK’s flying mecca as our summer base, means that, whatever the time of year, you can have the best time in the best hands.

Jump into the blue!
