Where it is
Alcocebre is a thermal, soaring, cross-country, hike and flatland site at 334 m in Castellón, Spain, working nicely on sea-breeze days with wind from the east through south to west. Take-off is right off the road, just before reaching the hermitage. Getting there by car means driving up to the San Benet hermitage via the El Pinar development. One real hazard to know about: power lines sit below take-off, and they can be in the way if you fly out low after scratching the ridge for lift — stay high enough to clear them. Landing options are flexible: down in the valley below, or right on the beach. With reliable sea-breeze soaring and a choice of landing spots including a beach option, Alcocebre is a pleasant coastal site for pilots who respect the power-line hazard near launch.
Launch & conditions
Power lines sit below take-off and can be a hazard if you fly out low after ridge-scratching for lift — stay high enough to clear them.
Getting there & local rules
By car, drive up to the San Benet hermitage via the El Pinar development. Take-off is right off the road, just before the hermitage. Landing options include down in the valley below or right on the beach.
Check conditions before you fly
A forecast for the valley is not a forecast for the launch. Before heading to Alcocebre, 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 Alcocebre with a 7-day forecast built from high-resolution weather models, see who else has been flying, and get there with offline maps.

A day counts as flyable when the surface wind held in your range, from a direction the site flies, with no rain, for at least 2 hours in a row (08:00–20:00) — from hourly 10 m wind over the last 12 months. A seasonal wind guide only: it can't judge gusts, thermals or turbulence, and never replaces the live forecast, airspace checks and your own judgement.
