Description
Enjoy the most splendid sceneries paragliding in Madrid. Join me on this unforgettable experience across the Sierra de Guadarrama National Park.
Paragliding is a fantastic activity as it allows you to fly over dazzling places. This is a one in a lifetime experience you cannot miss! From the top, you will get breathtaking views of the mountain range and the national park. There is no better place for this tandem paragliding adventure than the Sierra de Guadarrama. Furthermore, the mild and warm weather of this area in Spain, makes paragliding possible all year round.
The paragliders are lightweight and launched by foot. They are glider aircrafts with no rigid primary structures. So, the pilot sits in a harness. It is suspended right below a fabric wing that comprises a big number of baffled cells which are interconnected. Then, the shape of the wings is maintained by lines of suspension. And the pressure of air enters through vents at the wing’s front. Thus, the aerodynamic forces of the air flow over from the outside.
Even though paragliders don’t use an engine, their flight can last for many hours. And they can cover hundreds of kilometers. However, standard flights, especially for beginners, normally lasts about 20 minutes.
Upon arrival at the chosen flying area, you’ll get all the gear necessary. Then, you’ll receive a brief flying and security course, as well as for landing and taking off.

My guide Luis was great! He was very informative and entertaining, and made sure that we walked at my pace. He was very knowledgeable about the area and told me a lot about it. I like his philosophy of \"leave the places you visit better than how you found them\" and his passion for hiking, camping, and the outdoors. We also went to El Escorial, which was impressive and fascinating. I really enjoyed my day up in the mountains with Luis and thank him for inspiring me to continue on this path of exploring our beautiful world. I would highly recommend Luis and your company for others looking for hiking or trekking opportunities.

Our guide was not Gabriel, but a subcontractor names Luis. He was great! (very helpful, knowledgeable and friendly) and should have gotten 5 stars except that he arrived late to pick us up, and he said he would send pictures but didn\'t. Our scramble at La Pedriza was awesome! Explore Share should maybe get 3 1/2 stars, I found their description of this adventure not accurate. It said we would climb La Pedriza and Penalara (not possible in one day) and no experience was necessary. A beginner hiker would find this challenging, would have to turn back before the real adventure begins, and be disappointed. Scrambling requires an intermediate fitness level. And the picture shown with the advertisement isn\'t what we saw, no jagged peaks, no helmets, no ropes. All things considered it was still a great experience!

Thank you Luis for a great trip to La Pedriza! We learnt a lot and thank you for bringing us hiking around the area even after we were done with the climbing :)
