About Event

🏊 Embalse de San Juan · Swim & Hike — Pelayos de la Presa

This hike is hosted by Laura :)

The one you've been waiting for all year — a summer hike that ends in the water. The Embalse de San Juan is one of the most beautiful swimming spots reachable from Madrid by public transport, and the only reservoir in the Community of Madrid where swimming is officially allowed, with over 14 km of beaches along its shores. We'll hike the trail first, then cool off with a proper swim. The perfect Sunday in June. 🌿

Distance: 1-2hr walk, the main focus is on swimming and enjoying the water :)
