Hellin Cerro Morron

Hellín Cerro Morrón is an easy, beginner-friendly soaring and hike site at 755 m in Albacete province, Spain, flying with west and northwest wind. Both take-off and landing are described simply as easy: a gentle slope to launch from and a large, easy area to land in. Reaching launch means driving the Hellín to Sierra road, taking the right-hand trail after the A-30 highway to the base of the mountain, then walking and climbing up — there's no vehicle track, so it's on foot from there. One thing worth knowing before you fly: this site sits in its own microclimate, and wind speed here usually runs noticeably lower than just outside the Hellín valley, so don't judge conditions by a regional forecast alone — check locally. With a gentle takeoff, generous landing and a distinctive sheltered wind pattern, Hellín Cerro Morrón is a comfortable, approachable site.
