Despite being near the sea, having the people on the windward side, allowing it to accumulate and warm the air more easily, get to shoot some heat.

is why this area is more "moved" to El Fraile.
The takeoff can be rather tricky to come up with moderate or strong wind because the change in slope is very steep and there's not much space in the ramp.

The golf ball can be used as a landing.
landing nearby on the baseball field.
The slope extends to 300 meters flyable, with a small transition to the east. To take-off can be reached by car.

Snowmobile Truck Ramp
Zona de Vuelo: El Fraile
Province: Havana Description:
This is the most visited site by the pilots of Havana. This is a 70-meter elevation gradient located near the coast in a place known as El Penon del Fraile, 70 km from the center of the city by road to the famous tourist resort of Varadero. Equipped with a large tilt very smooth launch and a long runway, the plateau without rotores detrás del despegue es un lugar excelente para pilotos noveles. El acceso hasta el despegue es a pie, unos 15 minutos subiendo por el caminito.
Vista aérea del despegue en El Fraile
La ladera, de unos 200 metros de ancho, está orientada al NE en casi toda su extensión, por lo que la brisa marina es la mejor aliada de los voladores.
Por las condiciones de viento laminar, en este lugar el vuelo es muy tranquilo y placentero. Es un sitio ideal para practicar top-landing y touch-and-go.
