Although the flight that allows for convenient side is oriented SE, you can also take off with orientations E, S, and even W. Although in recent cases it is necessary fly with thermal conditions, since they do not pay enough to support us in slope. But once it is off, it's easy to find thermals to gain altitude and give us a good flight. This even in times of the year in which you would not expect these conditions, but the south and be in the vicinity of several reservoirs are to be given the humidity and temperature needed to generate the heat that makes us so much enjoyment. Here I present two videos. The first, recorded in June, with good thermal conditions, as expected at this time of year, but the south wind.
The second, recorded in October, with very light wind SE orientation, but with good heat. Allowing two flights take over an hour and a half each. In the morning and after eating.
Here I present a flight in the face N. This day the wind was quite strong and cross NE. So the fellow who was with me, more experienced and perhaps less forward flight I decided not to try and is dedicated to recording. I did not have much hope of being able to get a flight, but at least try to make "field" and take control of sailing on land. As he was too strong at the summit, I went to measure it and gave 35 to 40 km / h, I decided to try to raise the sail almost to ground level and go up the hill, pulled by the lift it until it was large enough to get me to fly. It is not easy, at least for me. On several occasions I got to fly, but not high enough to be able to climb to the summit. So, had to land on the hillside, to return to try again. But at last I got it and allowed me to take a flight of about 45 min. Actually it could have been longer, because once above, despite being crossed, the slope goes a long way. But the more lively it was, I had a small folded and decided to land.
Long ago, a friend flying in the area, is actually in Cebreros himself, told me he did not understand as being the area I most frequented flight had not yet posted any videos of it. And the truth is that I did not know that answer. I suppose it's because I have yet to edit material as I am too lazy to get to it and do not know where to start. But everything comes, here's the first video of this great flying area. Its orientation is the most used SE, but it is flyable, but with worse conditions, with winds of guidelines E, S and even W. The takeoff is about 1300 m. with these coordinates (40.448679, -4.508930) and landing is about 750 m. (40.447396, -4.480029). I think the area offers excellent conditions for paragliding. A takeoff broad, free of stones and allows land up with ease. It also has fabulous views of the surrounding swamps. Landing is slightly tilted. This means that when there is no wind, it forces you to carry traffic on the road approach and adjust long final glide, since otherwise the rate of fall of the sail is almost the same as the fall of the land and is very easy to spend the first half. But it is dangerous because then there is a much bigger plane that allow you to land safely. In fact this field is typically used by the school that frequents this area, not to put students in the one closest to the road. takeoff Access is from the port AV503 Arrebatacapas on the road leading from San Bartolome Cebreros Pinares. Upon reaching the top of the port takes a dirt track that goes to the left of and following this road to take us to the final launch. flight zone would be perfect if it had a North-oriented flight. And indeed it has. Accessed from the town next to The Shiver, you can climb to head la Parra. It is the mountain which is opposite the takeoff. But unfortunately for years that the flight here is prohibited. Affected by the regulation of a Regional Park that prevents this. Although there is a club of this city that is struggling to get it to reopen the area to the flight. I hope it succeeds! A tip for summer days. Being the nearest landing Cebreros, most often flying scroll to eat it or take the poles rigor. But during the summer days strongly recommend you open a bar next to the swamp of Charco del Cura. You can bring snacks and beverage purchase, or if you prefer, you can prepare them something to eat. The site is very nice. It is situated among lush trees and a small beach next to the marsh, allowing the bath to brave the icy water that support the bath. This wonder is coming from a roundabout at the entrance to the village of El Tiemblo, near the national highway N403 Avila-Toledo. It is indicated in the roundabout itself.
Here I leave the map of takeoff and landing. Clicking on the blue marks will give you more information.

face not go as far as the commonly used SE, since the slope is less steep. But if the temperatures are good, this side also allows a good flight. And this video proves it.

Loose conditions that have led to a great manga. Until 14:30 hours have begun building out the few pilots entering thermal gusts. Very low ceilings. No more than 2,000 meters. What was that they had to fly close together in the few stations which came off. If they lost the level of the large rocks near the summit there was very difficult to trace. In his attempt to scrape every effort into the side in hopes of finding something to climb, many drivers have raced both, which have been a couple of miles from the landing, having to walk to the car parking area .
This time, instead of recording video, I made photographic sequences where you see the mechanics of takeoff and offers the picture sharpness in front of the video. If anyone is interested in any of these photos with the highest quality of my camera, 8 megapixel, you can ask me and send them.
You know, clicking on the picture below you can see the rest, namely 125 more, although some sequences are made up to 10 photos.
