Takeoff description
One of the most frequented sites on Tenerife. Good access by car. Parking near the start. Very large space on the mountain, no grass, carpets for takeoff
Rules and notes
Landing on the (sand) beach in Costa Adeje (N28.092 W16.745) is strictly prohibited and controlled by local police to avoid injuries of people on the beach. Landing on rocky black beach westwards (N28.0924 W16.7466) or even pirate beach (N28.0976 W16.7515) is tolerated (but probably not legal either).
