La Herradura is a small local town, with about 4000 inhabitants in the winter, up to 16.000 during the busy summer months (July and August). The rest of the year it is a haven of peace, with the sun shining almost each day. The average temperatures during the winter range from 18-25, and in the summer 28-33 degrees Celcius.

La Herradura is located between Nerja to the west, and Almuñecar to the east, and the lovely small towns of Maro and Cotobro.

Paragliding in La Herradura, South of Spain

Kimberley, one of our students

La Herradura and Almuñecar are the most popular places at the Costa Tropical for Paragliding or Hanggliding during the wintermonths in Europe. The flightseason starts the end of September until April approximately. You will often see clusters of beautiful, multi-colored parachutes gliding slowly down from the mountains towards the La Herradura bay. This location by the coast, surrounded by mountain ranges, allows for perfect glides that set off from high cliffs and descend down onto its quiet horseshoe shaped bay. No other region can offer so many Take-Off's for almost all wind directions.  http://www.costatropicalevents.com/en/active/para-gliding.html
