Gasset Reservoir is one of the most well-known inland spots in Castilla–La Mancha and home to the traditional “Cheese Regatta,” one of the most iconic windsurfing events in Spain.
The day before the event: 15–20 knots blew in, leaving a great feeling for the start of the competition.
Official race days: However, during the official days, the wind was much more unstable and marginal, making it difficult to complete valid heats.
October 24: Several heats were attempted. Many remained incomplete due to lack of wind, but only one could be declared valid.
October 25: The situation was repeated. Several attempts were made, but only one heat was valid due to drops in intensity.
October 26: The wind did not pick up at any point during the day, so no races were held.
Despite the conditions, the atmosphere with the “Pantanícolas” Club and the riders was excellent, closing the final stage of the circuit.
The reservoir is located 15 minutes from Ciudad Real, in the municipality of Fernán Caballero, featuring direct and easy access by road. It is a popular spot for riders from Castilla–La Mancha, Madrid, and Andalusia due to its strategic location and logistical convenience.
The town of Fernán Caballero offers several rural lodgings that collaborate with the event organization, providing proximity, comfort, and a peaceful environment ideal for competitors and their companions. The organization recommends staying in Fernán Caballero to make travel easier and to enjoy the natural surroundings of the area.
