Photos from the II International Paragliding Festival
paramotor Originally uploaded by edube.Los Realejos in north Tenerife was also recently the host to the II International Paragliding Festival. To promote the event, three paramotorists crossed the Atlantic ocean from Tenerife to La Gomera and, did so in a mere 25 minutes - beating the ferry times! :)
This photo shows a paramotor landing in Puerto de la Cruz and this set shows several more photos from that recent meeting.
