Opened in June 2016, this free-flight centre makes the province of Jaén, and this area in particular, a landmark for lovers of unpowered flight.
To the spectacular landscapes Mancha Real offers as one of the gateways to the Sierra Mágina Natural Park, it adds unbeatable access.
Both the take-off and the landing areas can be reached by car, with a return trip to the top of under 10 minutes.
Besides unpowered flight, this emblematic area is ideal for other sports such as hiking, running and mountain biking.
