Meet Our Head Pilot: Olmo León

Flying isn’t just our job — it’s our way of life. At the helm of Veleta Paragliding is Olmo León Cadahía, a pilot with a decade of experience gliding through the skies and a lifetime devoted to the high mountains.

At the top of the sport

  • 🏆 Spanish Accuracy Champion (2026) — with Team Andalusia, winners of the national inter-regional championship
  • 🥇 Andalusian Hike & Fly Champion (2025) and runner-up (2026)
  • 🪂 The first person ever to complete the X-ANDALUCÍA, solo and completely unsupported — 536 km flying and hiking from the Atlantic to the Mediterranean

His passion for nature reaches far beyond the air. A versatile endurance athlete, Olmo has summited several 6,000 m peaks in the Andes, finished mountain ultramarathons, and climbed all over the world — reaching 8a+ on sport routes, 7b+ on trad, and taking runner-up in the Andalusian climbing rally championship.

All those years reading the mountains give him an exceptional ability to sense the conditions, make the right calls, and guarantee 100% safety on every tandem flight. Get ready to fly with total peace of mind — in the hands of a true expert.

Map of the X-Andalucía route: from Cape Trafalgar to Vera Playa, across Andalusia

The route crossed the pine forests and dunes of the Cádiz coast, the valleys of the Guadalquivir and the sierras of Grazalema, Ronda, Sierra Nevada and Baza. Some days the weather forced long stretches on foot; on the thermal days the big progress was made in the air.
