Follow me on an incredible and unique hike to the breathtaking La Pedriza Manzanares in Spain.
Located in the stunning Sierra de Guadarrama National Park, La Pedriza Manzanares is a dazzling geological feature of great scenic interest, that gets its name from the rock formations all around the park. Only 45 minutes away from Madrid, it is perfect for outdoor lovers. There’s plenty of options for rock climbers and hikers to spend a wonderful time in a quiet setting.
On this adventure, we’ll explore the rock formations while I teach you about the park’s geological history. We’ll meet at Manzanares el Real and access the Cuenca Alta del Manzanares Regional Park to discover all its particular rock formations. Then we will ascend to the Giner de los Ríos Refuge and to Yelmo, the park’s most emblematic location. Finally, we’ll return back down to our meeting spot.

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
