THE HOUSE AT ALFACAR
During the last 9 years our work has
been divided between flying on the coast
or in the mountains. The location is
dictated to us by the weather. But all this
wasted travelling time was very tiring. So last year we decided to establish
an additional base in the village of Alfacar, just north of the city of Granada.
The house is in a secluded road with easy access to bars and resturants in
the village.
Close by are woods and beautiful mountain countryside. The house is a modern
two-storey building with 7 bedrooms, 4 of which have on-suite toilets and
showers. Use
of the kitchen, terrace, satelite TV and exercise machine are included. There
is room to
sleep 17.
We
provide free transport (self-drive if preferred) to the village or the city
of Granada in the evenings as required. The city is only 10 minutes away with
all its tourist facilities; shops, bars, resturants, bull-ring and of course
the world famous Alhambra palace and Generalife gardens.
The house is incredibly close to a exclusive flying site, arguably one of the
best in Spain. The site is suitable for all levels from student to cross-country
pilot. Having use to this site avoids the over-crowding so common to the other
sites available to visiting pilots.
If the weather is not suitable for flying on the coast we can stay at the Alfacar
house and use the site. However when staying at Alfacar there is an increase
in the number of additional flying sites, available further inland, without
the penalty of driving back to the coast each night. It means that we have access
to sites at Jaén, Baza, Loja, etc. which would normally be too far to
drive. An obvious increase in variety for the dedicated flyer but also insurance
against being totally blown-out on days of problematic weather.
