Most of them can be reached by car up to the take off area, except Abantos, Mondalindo and Zarzalejo which are Hike&Fly sites.
To sum up, The Central Mountain Chain consists of a mountainous landscape with a height difference of 850 metres and very diverse views as The National Natural Park of Guadarrama and Gredos, swamp in Cebreros; The monumental city “Escorial” with his monuments in Abantos. Each flight is very spectacular.
We also have several national championship places for their cross-country possibilities such as Arcones, Piedrahita and Pedro Bernardo.
