Paragliders' Landing/Take Off Site In Danger!

This place is prívate and the neigbors vote out paragliding into urbanitation.

All years dead people in gran Alacant.

This activity is very dangerous!!

Please not near to my House!!!

Hi,

The parapente sport is much more less dangerous than driving a car or crossing the road, swimming, diving...

It is a sport which requires an enormous amount of responsibility and craftsmanship. People who do this sport are friendly, very responsible, and ecofriendly (no motors) and especially no voyeurs. So please don't judge to fast. I support this sport and we must protect this unique sport and of course protect the parapente zone for Gran Alacant. It's an unique setting on the Costa Blanca!
By the way, I live nearby the take-off zone and it's amazing to see it every day again. ;-)

Extra information about this "private place". Their is an official agreement (from the very beginning... between Olivo de Oro, Brisas del Faro and the Parapente Organizations of Gran Alacant that those sport clubs can use the complete area. That's also the reason that recently Santa Pola invested a lot of money in a Walkway, a mirador en that they are going to upgrade the parapente zone. 
About voting out the parapente gliders is completely nonsens. The majority is PRO this sport and against the building of the stupid concrete wall which indeed will kill that sport, that's for shure. I hope that their will be enough common sence of the ayuntamiento to stop this ridiculous situation before it is to late.

Living in the UK I have been coming to Gran Alacant for the last 15 years, twice a year for minimum of 15days each time, solely to Paraglide. 

Self catering accommodation in a nearby complex is rented together with a hire car but frequently fly this coastal site under Doyouwanna's supervision due to its convenience.

There are better flying locations sites in Spain, in particular Algodonales, however I have remained faithful to Gran Alacant primarily due to the Cabo site access and Doyouwanna services.  If this site is lost it is most likely that I would use the English club, Andalucian Experience, in Algodonales in future.

Events will be watched with interest, and my local club SE Wales HGPC, is being kept informed as they frequently come to Gran Alacant for the same reasons.

Alfonso,

you are president of the commitee board of Olivo de Oro,.  since day one you have been trying to stop us doing our sport.  

All neighbours of Olivo de Oro know well enough how 'your' voting was held,.....Yesterday, neighbours of Olivo de Oro were present to support us at take off.   They found it rude, illegal and outrageous their names were used as being against the pargliding.

For years we have been tolerant to dogs shitting on our take off, even yes, on our little tabourets we put for our clients to rest in the shade, dogshit was put .......  We never complained, we wanted to be more civilized, more educated.    And now this.

So sad you ar not in favour of one of the jewels Santa Pola has as tourist sport attraction,

Nick

always ready to have an eye to eye talk

dear Nick, I am not Alfonso but I wanted to tell you that the neighbors are only going to close their private property. But you can fly over public place.

Please dont lie...

Thanks!

.....the neigbours .....  only a few who serve in the directory board, we all know it.

but this is not the forum to talk about what happens internally in the urbanisation

do not lie ... all the neighbors who attended the Annual General Meeting voted and by immense majority decided to build the wall on our property. This paragliding track has never been approved because it does not meet the standards for take-off and landing. They have many places to fly and not endanger the lives of neighbors. Thank you!!
