When and what inspired you to start paragliding?:
Since I was a child I always wanted to fly, I was fascinated by the flight of birds. Years later, by chance, I discovered paragliding while I was climbing, and the rest is history.

What are your favorite flying spots?:
I’m from Aragón, a region in Spain surrounded by mountains: the Pyrenees to the north, the Iberian System in the center, and the Javalambre and Judar ranges to the south. But without a doubt my favorite place is a small valley in the heart of the Aragonese Pyrenees (Tena Valley).

What do you like most about flying?:
Without a doubt, it’s the ability to move and travel in a medium that is not ours, a medium you can’t see but can feel. It’s that indescribable feeling of pleasure that paragliding gives you.

Why do you want to be part of the GIN team?:
I started flying many years ago with a GIN Bolero on my first flights, then I progressed with the GIN Carrera. Later I competed with the GIN Leopard, GIN Boomerang… and in Hike & Fly with the GIN Puma, a wing that gave me great results. In short, I love them, they are wings with personality and a unique flying style.

What advice would you give to new pilots?
Enjoy every flight, don’t rush your progression, every paraglider has its own time.
