Pilot comments
Excellent site for all kinds of pilots; summer months thermal activity is heavy, but evening flights are good. But then few are here anyway, as it's too hot with temperatures sometimes above 45°C between late June to early September. Poniente works well in the afternoon and evenings when Lavante stops. There are several companies offering instruction and guiding in the town… it is a lively and fun place in season (spring and autumn).
