This is a nice, but very infrequently used site. The best conditions here are usually found on summer evenings when the legendary thermal matress keeps you aloft until sundown. When the conditions are good, you can fly along the long ridge (several km)that borders the national park. You can also fly to here from 'Cenes de la Vega' and vice versa. Generally, it is a thermo-dynamic soaring site. That is to say mainly soaring, with the odd thermal thrown in. Sometimes you can find thermals and fly high above the natural park 'Sierra de Huetor'. It is usually not an excellent choice in the middle of the day.

The site is situated just above the village of 'Alfacar', to the north of Granada city, and is quite evident.

The sector to the west of the road that leads up to the park has 2 take-offs: one that faces north, and one that faces west. The one that faces west is smaller and trickier. There is a landing directly below this take-off, just watch out for the high voltage cables. I wouldn't bother coming here in a west wind, however, because the west facing part is very small and you'll probably have a better flight in 'Cenes de la Vega'. The south take-off is quite good. The landing is in a field to the west of the village of Alfacar. Usually pilots just gain a little height, and then glide across to the other sector (to the east of the road), as this is a long, south facing, rocky ridge where the flying is usually better. There is some joker from the coast who claims this site (the western sector) is his....it's not!

The sector to the east of the road is probably a better bet, since almost everyone comes across here immediately if they get sufficient height anyway (that way you don't have to lose height gliding across). This sector only really has a feasible take-off to the south.
