Take an adrenaline bath with water sports at the Valmayor reservoir.

There are no beaches in Madrid, but there are reservoirs. And when it comes to making the most of them, the people of Madrid have no competition. In the recreational area of the Valmayor Reservoir, between Galapagar and Colmenarejo, you can enjoy the best water sports, such as canoeing, windsurfing, paddle surfing, kayaking and even sailing (if, like Paquita Salas, you don’t have a boat either, you can join a sailing club).

The size of the body of water and the windy conditions make this reservoir one of the best in the region for giving free rein to your adventurous spirit with water sports. In addition, the Valmayor reservoir stands out for its ecological and landscape value, with willows, poplars, ash trees and a diverse fauna that includes numerous birds, fish and reptiles. A perfect place to exercise, refresh yourself and enjoy the peace and quiet and the views.
