Travel Transport & Insurance
The nearest airports are Jerez, Seville, Gibraltar and Malaga. Students should aim to arrive and depart on a Sunday. We recommend students hire a car in order to not only make your travel from the airport to Lake Bornos very easy but also to give you more freedom to explore the region when not training. We will connect students together on a WhatsApp group a month or so before the course allowing you to discuss sharing hire cars. We require students sitting a course in Spain to have their own Insurance.

How safe is it to Paramotor in Spain?
How safe is it to Paramotor in Spain?
It is very safe to learn how to Paramotor in Portugal. The golden rule is to never fly low over the water. The wide open training site at Lake Bornos ensures there are very few obstacles that create rotor or for the the student to be distracted by when taking off or landing. Likewise the wide, open beaches ensure we never need to fly over the sea at any stage. The on shore laminar winds make flying on the coast really smooth and ideal for Paramotoring and ParaTriking.
