Introduction
A small airfield located near the renowned Ricardo Tormo Circuit, home to the final stop of the MotoGP World Championship. LERE (Requena Airfield) is not only strategically positioned for motorsport enthusiasts but also serves as a vital base for firefighting aircraft during the summer, thanks to its proximity to several key reservoirs and the Cofrentes nuclear power plant.
Surrounded by a landscape of striking contrasts, pilots can enjoy breathtaking views from the air: to the west, the expansive Buseo, Benagéber, and Contreras reservoirs offer shimmering waters framed by lush pine forests and rugged terrain — an ideal route for scenic flights or aerial photography. To the south, the Cofrentes nuclear power station stands as a modern engineering landmark nestled in the volcanic region of Ayora-Cofrentes, where thermal activity and natural formations give the area a unique geological character.
This combination of natural beauty, technical interest, and nearby touristic attractions — including wineries, mountain villages, and hiking trails — makes Requena airfield an excellent destination for general aviation pilots seeking more than just a place to land. Whether you’re coming for the circuit, the landscape, or a weekend getaway in inland Valencia, LERE welcomes you with open skies and unforgettable views.
