Description

Context The bipersonal paragliding flight in Gijón allows you to soar above a coastal city that blends sandy beaches, dramatic cliffs, and a historic urban landscape. Launching from cliffs near the Cantabrian Sea, you’ll enjoy sweeping aerial views of the iconic Picu San Martín and the city’s waterfront promenade. The activity is available year-round, provided weather conditions are favorable, and the wind carries the refreshing, salty scent of the sea.

The experience After a safety briefing with your instructor, you’ll be fitted with a harness and helmet before a short walk to the launch site. The certified professional pilot will guide you through the takeoff from the cliff edge and during your 10- to 20-minute flight, you’ll feel the wind and experience the quiet stillness of the air as you gaze down on the coastline and city from a unique aerial perspective. The landing occurs in nearby, carefully selected fields for maximum comfort and safety.

It is not recommended for individuals with severe acrophobia, limited mobility requiring a wheelchair, or those with medical conditions that prevent light physical activity.
