Aerodromo de Sonseca

Aeródromo de Sonseca is a microlight and paramotor airfield near the Montes de Toledo in central Spain, geared toward powered flying rather than classic foot-launch soaring — there's no thermal or ridge-soaring terrain described here, just a runway and open field for microlights and paramotors. On-site facilities include hangars, a bar, a barbecue area and toilets, with a winery-restaurant about 200 meters away for afterward. To find it, leave the N-401 near Sonseca onto the CM-4022 toward Villaminaya; about 2.2 km along, the airfield entrance is on the right, directly opposite the Villa El Retamar winery-restaurant. Pilots operating here should be on the published radio frequencies — the air band for microlights and a separate VHF frequency for paramotors — to stay coordinated with other traffic using the field.

Launch & conditions

Takeoff and landing both use the same microlight runway and open paramotor field.

Check conditions before you fly

A forecast for the valley is not a forecast for the launch. Before heading to Aerodromo de Sonseca, read the wind and thermals for the site itself, confirm the day's rules with the local club, and remember the standing rule — when in doubt, don't launch. In the free OutDare app you can open Aerodromo de Sonseca with a 7-day forecast built from high-resolution weather models, see who else has been flying, and get there with offline maps.
