Acrobatic Paraglider Flight on the Costa Malagueña

Context The acrobatic paraglider flight along the Costa Malagueña blends aerial stunts with the unique coastal landscape of southern Spain. This stretch of coastline, covering Torre del Mar, Benajarafe, and Fuengirola, enjoys a mild climate that allows flying throughout the year. Takeoffs and landings occur on small fields or open plains using a three-wheeled paratrike, enabling safe and smooth launches without the need to run. The breeze carries the salty scent of the sea and the gentle sound of nearby waves.

The Experience After a safety briefing, you’ll be fitted with a helmet and harness for a comfortable seat in the paratrike. An experienced pilot will perform a gentle takeoff from the field, beginning the 15- to 40-minute acrobatic flight. During the journey, you’ll feel the thrill of loops and sharp turns while gazing at the vivid contrast between the Mediterranean’s deep blue and the rugged nearby hills. The engine hums in harmony with the fresh wind on your face, and the stable, textured seat provides confidence and control through every maneuver.

For Whom This activity suits teenagers from 12 years old (with parental consent for those under 14) and adults in good physical condition with no serious health concerns. It’s ideal for those seeking an exciting yet safe aerial adventure with moderate difficulty. Not recommended for individuals with severe vertigo or limited mobility.

Local Context The Costa Malagueña is a region where fishing traditions coexist with tourism and natural beauty. Open fields used for takeoffs are part of the local agricultural landscape. Pilots are certified professionals who understand local weather patterns and terrain, ensuring a safe and environmentally respectful experience.
