More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
Wind lifts the wing before your feet leave the slope—sand and city drop away as the glider takes shape above Los Giles. In minutes Las Palmas spreads beneath you: the crescent of Playa de las Canteras, the grid of streets, and the darker scrub of the island’s volcanic slopes. The instructor runs a last systems check, and the city becomes a map you can read at eye level.
