One of my places in Madrid

Kayak en el Embalse de San Juan

Pelayos de la Presa

Dr. Abdulmajeed Al-MudarraMy tip
“It usually operates at weekends from spring to autumn; book and arrive early for parking. Avoid crowded August midday.”

“The beach of Madrid”, an hour from the capital: calm paddling between pine-lined banks and cliffs into quiet coves, with ducks and geese all around you. Boats for one, two or three people, perfect for beginners and children.

Easy to reach, needs a car

By car (a few buses to Pelayos). The launch point is beside the car park; calm paddling in a reservoir with no currents. Cafés on the beach. The car park fills up at midday in the summer holidays.
