Pilot a Day in a Light Aircraft Over the Bergantiños Coast

Context The light aircraft flying experience over the Bergantiños Coast begins at the Castriz airfield in Santa Comba, A Coruña. This coastal region of Galicia offers a landscape where sea and land merge into expansive, clear panoramas, with the Punta Nariga Lighthouse and Cape Finisterre serving as key landmarks. The light aircraft reaches speeds of up to 100 km/h, enabling a 30-minute flight along the rugged coastline. ">The Experience"> After an initial briefing, you take control of the light aircraft under the supervision of a certified instructor. You take off from Castriz and begin flying with hands-on guidance, feeling the fresh wind and hearing the engine’s sound as you glide over beaches, cliffs, and rural areas. The exhilarating sense of aerial freedom combines with panoramic views of the sea and the Galician landscape, creating a deeply sensory experience. ">For Whom"> This activity is suitable for adults and young people aged 14 and over with parental consent, and no prior flying experience is required. Participants must have moderate physical fitness and must not have heart conditions. The experience is not recommended for people with fear of flying, or those exceeding 115 kg in weight or 1.90 m in height. ">Local Context"> The Castriz airfield is a key hub for recreational flights in the Bergantiños region, a coastal area with strong maritime and rural traditions. From here, visual connections are made to iconic sites along the Camino de Santiago and the Costa da Morte, integrating nature and cultural heritage into the flight journey.
