“… We spent a week in Algo with Nick and Alberto from ParaglidinGuide and although the weather was poor we still had a great time and flew when the weather allowed. Would definitely recommend them to anyone heading to Algo.”

“… Algodonales is one of the paragliding paradises of Europe for pilots looking for thermal and XC flying, especially in Spring and Autumn, with a range of sites within driving distance. The town has several good and inexpensive restaurants. Nick is an experienced instructor and guide in the area. We were a guided group of experienced pilots. Nick’s local knowledge allowed us to make the best of the flying weather and we always found ourselves taken to the right place at the right time. I’ve every intention of going on other trips with Nick.”
