Our Club has a surface area for up to 20 landing spots, an 8000 m2 surface for tents and a campsite.
There will be “no-fly” zones at our competition, meaning there will be no limitation as to where you can fly. The surface of the airfieldis sufficient large to provide an interesting and invigorating competition! The event will be held near of central Spanish summer, so that estimated temperatures are expected to reach approximately 24°C (and up to 30°C) with humidity levels then, at about 30%.
The maximum number of pilots registered will be 60. The organization keeps the rights to modify this number.

Hotels will be more expensive, you can count on 60€ a night and more. To find a place to sleep near the event venue, make the registration as soon as possible due to the fact that summer season can be quite busy in the valley.
