Where it is
Escuzar is a north-facing ridge-soaring site at 1,067 m in Granada province, Spain. Take-off is reachable by a 2WD-passable dirt road from the village of Escuzar, and top-landing back at launch is possible when conditions allow. Landing more broadly is in large fields below launch or along the road back up to take-off — but avoid any field that's planted or carrying crops. Pilots should also check the regional airspace around Almuñécar/Granada before flying here, since this stretch of coast and mountains has airspace worth knowing about ahead of time. With straightforward 2WD access and generous landing options, Escuzar is a simple, accessible ridge-soaring site for a clean north wind day.

Check conditions before you fly
A forecast for the valley is not a forecast for the launch. Before heading to Escuzar, 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 Escuzar 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.
