The airfield lies just 12 km from the city center, ensuring convenient access for students.

The Experience Participants begin with theoretical instruction in aerodynamics, meteorology, and basic flight maneuvers, followed by ground-based practice with aircraft controls. After mastering fundamentals, trainees progress to supervised flights in ultralight aircraft or Tecnam P2002 Sierra, taking control under the guidance of a certified flight instructor. As you fly above the Guadalquivir River and the surrounding countryside, the wind carries the scent of thyme—offering a unique blend of technical learning and sensory immersion.
