Lanzarote – Tenezar (Tenesar)

Lanzarote – Tenezar (Tenesar) is a low-altitude soaring site at just 50 m on Lanzarote in Spain's Canary Islands, flying with a northerly wind. There are two take-off options here: a small, partially cleared and rocky field halfway up the ridge, or a proper hike of 10-15 minutes to a launch on top of the ridge itself. Neither option is large, so pilots should size up the ground carefully before committing to lay out a wing. Landing is straightforward — right on the road below take-off, easy to spot and reach. As a low, coastal ridge-soaring site, Tenezar rewards pilots working a clean north wind along Lanzarote's volcanic coastline, with the choice between a quick, rougher launch lower down or a short hike to cleaner air higher up.
