Not sure but you've got to do some windsurfing. Which part, sorry, end of the island are you going to?

El Berriel Flying Club: C/ Gral. del Sur, km. 46,5, San Bartolomé de Tirajana. 35107 Las Palmas de Gran Canaria
(from quick google search)

Forget the flying. Just walk along the fabulous beach from Corralejo towards 'The Hotels' but wear your reflective sunglasses!!!!!!!. I visit twice a year. Lovely place.

Piss Poor Prior Planning.

What's your problem Cock Steve?

He's finding out if it will be feasible to fly there before he goes away. That's called PLANNING!

Google is your friend - if you know how to use it

Have a look at this, it's a starting point that should sort you out. Enjoy.

I'm with Cockney Steve. Certainly, the title of the thread doesn't assist matters.

Information Needed As Drawing Dead Ends !!!

Perhaps a better title would have been:

I can't be @rsed googling for a flying club in the Canaries, will someone else do it for me?
Not worth getting worked up about however. Have a good holiday Neil and good luck with your CPL

Perhaps the P*ss Poor Planning should be for going to an island that appears not to have any flying schools/clubs! Both Gran Canaria and Tenerife do, but so far nothing shows anything on Fuerteventuea. Google maps does show a GA area at the airport but until he gets there he may not be able to find out anything. That is why I suggested a phone call to the other islands may reap rewards,

In all my visits over the years, I have seen virually NO G.A. activity. The island has nothing to offer private fliers, being a desolute lunar landscape, except for it's fabulous beaches.
