We all have had really good time, have meet other savage pilots with whom we share many points of view, and also we have learned something about mountain flying and new landing technics
We all meet in an airstrip near Olot called St. Jaume de Tapioles, someone came from Mallorca Island, others from France.. Our friends offer us a tradicional lunch, after siesta, visit to Tortell� village and dinner.
Next day we flown over the volcanic area of La Garrotxa, Besal� y Banyoles and after we start the route to La Cerda�a aerodrome, an excellent resort with restaurant and swimming pool. We had a lunch in a �sidreria�, tipical menu of the north of Spain.

After we visit another nice airstrip near a lake, where we had a refreshing bath and a nice lunch, before fly to the desert, Tardienta Monegros aerodrome, a cool and bizarre place to visit that took us to the Morocco way of life!!
