HISTORY

PLATA is built on the old Caudé aerodrome, which was used during the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939). It was later used as an artillery range by the Spanish Air Force. It covers an area of 2,043,600 m2.

This site was used historically for military aeronautical activities because of its exceptional climate conditions, location and low density of air traffic.
