Filmed and edited by pilot and filmmaker Will Appleyard, who lives in the village, it’s an insight into some of the names and faces inside the World Cup family, as well as a beautiful portrait of the landscape and flying in this southeast corner of Spain.
With in-air footage from Martin Scheel and Pepe Jiménez it’s a 30-minute journey through the top-level paragliding competition scene.
