I had the pleasure to experience the easiest and longest Paragliding soaring session in best conditions not very far away from Barcelona, Spain. The strong wind with laminar elements from the ocean, helped me get an endless paragliding flight. I could've flown like this for hours and hours. Hiking the mountain to reach the take off site wasn't easy whatsover but it was 100% worth. At some point during the flight, the wind was so strong that I was able to hover over paragliding take off site for a couple of seconds.
The location of this soaring mountain/hill is in Pineda de Mar, some 50 km away from Barcelona.

There is a lot to tell and show about this epic bike journey. I've had very beautiful and exciting moments but also moments of pain, frustration and misery. Traveling on bike for such long distances teaches you who you really are, what you really want in life and what you are made of.
