About this flying site

Site used mostly from May to October, when the marine breeze enters at the end of the day. However, with meteo wind from the south, it may work other periods of the year, but chances are smaller. Easy to see with all the windmills.

Access and parking

From Barcelona, take A2 direction Lleida. After Igualada, take exit 545 to Calaf, and follow that direction (turn left just after the exit). After a while, you'll be climbing the hill with all the windmills.

Local weather notes

You have to fly with wind from S or SW. Wind can be too strong to fly.

Flight rules

Due to the approach for toplanding, priorities are reversed : you have to give priority to the one who has terrain on the left.
