MEET THE CENTRAL FIGURES

Joan Portella

Paragliding Pilot

I began flying in 1986. After years of travel and perfecting my technique, I realized it was possible to paraglide in Menorca by taking advantage of the island’s sea breezes, the thermic currents generated by warming of the ground in the midday hours, and the convergences, so I decided to create this project supported by a group of pilots like myself.

Now I share my passion with everyone who wishes to fly with us. We show the island from a unique perspective, from where it is possible to see all of its surroundings, to know its landscape and hear its sounds. We fly without motor, in a completely quiet and environmentally friendly way, enjoying the experience of being in the air taking advantage of its ascending currents. These are the same currents used by many birds of Menorca such as eagles, hawks, vultures, seagulls or swallows, with which we sometimes coincide during flight.

“The birds we find when flying are used to seeing us as one more species. We help each other by transmitting information on the thermic and dynamic currents we use in flight.”
