Take-off description
S , SW (1275 m agl) There's a forest trail/broken road turning to the left just before arriving to the castle. It can be done with a normal car without problems but avoiding the holes on the pavement.
Getting there
From Huesca , take A-132 to Ayerbe, passing Esqueda gas station turn right to A-1206 to Loarre, near Loarre take right to Loarre`s castle , when you arrive to the flat lands in front the castle, turn left uphill , the road take ypu to the take off.
Weather
Not possible to flight when wind is N. Inspect landing zone first. It's a little bit small. But there are bigger fields around to choose. (Care has to be taken not to damage the crops). There's quite a number of power lines. So it's good to keep an eye on them, specially below the castle.
Comments
Amazing view of the Loarre's castle. When the conditions are good a thermal goes just above the castle providing spectacular views. Also great XC posibilities across all the mountain range going W-E. To the west to the spectacular 'mallos de riglos' conglomerate rock formations, and to the east towards Guara.
