Things to do in Province of Granada, Andalucia: The Best Parasailing & Paragliding

August 7, 2021 Ying Subia

There’s an Arabic inscription that captures the essence of Granada in a few words: “There is nothing so sad as to be blind in Granada.” The perspicacity of this declaration becomes obvious as soon as you penetrate the austere walls of the Alhambra and take in the full majesty of the architecture, carvings and fountains of the Nasrid palaces. Your ticket (which should be bought well in advance following the instructions on the attraction’s website) also affords entry to the Renaissance Palace of Carlos V and to the exquisite gardens of the Generalife. If you are celebrating a special event, or are in the market for a splurge, you can stay in the lovely Parador, right on site. Make your way down into the city via the atmospheric old quarter of the Albaicin, with its tiny craft shops and restaurants, and head for the Cathedral and Royal Chapel. Also plan a visit to the crypt for the tombs of Ferdinand and Isabella, the instigators of Spain’s imperial adventures to the New World and beyond. It’s worth making the short journey out of town to visit the Monasterio Cartuja, a fabulous Carthusian monastery in the baroque style. Admirers of the poet Lorca should make the effort to visit the Casa-Museo Federico Garcia Lorca in Fuente Vaqueros, about 11 miles from the city centre.

Andaventur was started in Andalucia, based in Granada and due to this spectacular location and great climate we can offer summer activities (canyoning, kayaking, hiking,…) as well as winter activites( skiing and snowboard, snowshoeing…). We can book many types of accommodation: typical cave houses; hotels; youth hostels; etc. and also offer many cultural and sporting activities which are available all year round (horse-riding, rock climbing, paragliding, guided visits to natural monuments or areas of cultural interest…). All of our activites are insured for civil injury and accident. Throughout our activites we hope to share some of the experiences that we have had, pass on a great love for what nature has provided us, encourage a deep respect for the natural environment that surrounds us, and allow our visitor a way to also get to know the culture and history of the Granada province.

Draco

Tandem paragliding is a very simple and gentle activity. Its difference with Benjy or parachuting is that there is no jump so no suddenness It is what comes closest to flying as a bird!. We fly with an expert instructor so we do not need any previous experience. Draco Flying Centre is located at Cenes de la Vega, very close to Granada. It is considered one of the best flying zones in the world! One of our instructors is Ramon Morillas, 4 times World paramotor Champion! Ramon is one of the three founding brothers and possesses in addition the world record of distance 1105kms and of altitude, 7821m.
