Satisfy your inner daredevil with Tandem Paragliding
Paragliding is the adrenaline sport on La Palma. They have excellent weather, good thermal and easy take off and landing spots. You’ll be lounging on the beach, half asleep and all of a sudden to your left a paraglider lands. Its fun to watch, but even more fun to do!

I needed a flight from Barcelona, Spain to Mumbai (Bombay), India and Qatar Airlines came up with a cheap flight, connecting in Doha. I have never heard of Qatar or Doha.

I stopped at the stables anyway and enquired about length of rides and prices. This gave me up to date information to work with. I walked inside where a rush of touts are there to meet you. I was prepared, and knew what to expect. I was ready to handle the hassle.
