Try using the search, there's even a tel no somewhere on here. It's called paragliding.

It is called paragliding, you can go and have a go, if you go to any of the excursion shops they can book it for you, i think its 90€ and you get 3/4 an hour subject to the thermals, if you get less than that they let you go again, be warned though you can be up there for two hours or more if you get the right conditions

If you can't be bothered to use the search on here and find the tel no (not the german guy) then why not go to the landing site and ask.

cant be bothered???????
i have searched on here till i am blue in the face - i clicked on search centre tab at top - i put in multiple variables of the work paraglide /paragliding / paraglider etc etc etc and it just comes up with - your search returned 0 results - so i thought the best thing would be to go and walk round the excursion places - and that got me nowhere either.
i have no idea where the landing site is.
i am gonna take a guess that its somewhere up near the Tropicana nightclub. - any ideas? |
