Hola, anyone know where I can find a gliding school in August? not hand-gliding, just normal gliding, google doesn't bring anything!

www.practicalspain.com/AeroClubs.htmu go to this site you should find the info you want .There are a few private airfields on the island.Son Bonet is the easiest to find just outside Palma and 2km away from Alcampo. Binisalem is probably your best bet after Son Bonet.This address and phone number deals with all private flying on the island.Hope it helps but I dont remember seeing any gliders in the skies of Mallorca only balloons and hang gliders and light aircraft.

nope - never seen a glider in 40 years i'm afraid - strange because I would have thought the thermals over the Tramuntanas would have been brilliant

Not understanding too much re flying, I dont know if this particular forum link may help. It may well be just planes and not gliders, but may give some other links or ideas for you;
