Who are we? Álvaro Ávila and Javier Cisma

¿Quiénes somos? Álvaro Ávila  y Javier Cisma

Hello, let me introduce myself. I am Álvaro Ávila Castellano, originally from Constantina, a town located in the province of Seville, although I currently reside in Seville.
My profession is dentistry, which is what I currently do for a living, but my great passion is the world of 4x4s, competition, and adventure.

Ever since I was little, I've always loved that world. I always imagined myself when I grew up racing in the Dakar or other major races. For me, it would be a dream that I hope to one day fulfill.

Within my means, we prepared a car and began to compete with the Jmp Racing team from Seville in the Spanish off-road championship for 3 seasons, achieving some podiums and, above all, gaining a lot of experience.
I put it aside a bit later due to the birth of my children. Here I explain my career in the CERT GT2i of Spain in the Regularity modality.

The regularity category does not only reward speed, but also precision in navigation, strategy, and pace control throughout the competition. It is a less media-centric discipline than other categories like T1 or T2, but very demanding and technical.

Throughout my career:

  • I have achieved victories in Spanish Championship events.
  • I particularly excel in the regularity category.
  • I have achieved first places in important national TT rallies.

I want to encourage all adventure, motor, and navigation enthusiasts to live a unique experience in the Atlas Nomad Raid. It is an incredible adventure, where you not only enjoy spectacular landscapes and exciting stages, but also camaraderie, self-improvement, and the authentic spirit of raiding.

Whether you have experience or want to get started in this world, the Atlas Nomad Raid is a perfect opportunity to enjoy, learn, and live unforgettable moments. I am sure you will have a great time and that it will be an adventure you will always remember. See you at the start!

I am Javier Cisma, a passionate off-road enthusiast with over 30 years of experience exploring routes, overcoming challenges, and promoting 4x4 culture.
Throughout my career, I have consolidated my reputation as a benchmark in the sector, combining technical knowledge, an adventurous spirit, and leadership.

I am the founder and director of the Club Hispalis 4x4, an organization through which I have promoted numerous activities, expeditions, and gatherings for off-road enthusiasts, always fostering safety, respect for the environment, and camaraderie among fans.

Since 2000, I have focused a large part of my activity on the African continent, with special dedication to Morocco. My travels through this region have allowed me to acquire a deep knowledge of the terrain, local culture, and the most emblematic routes. In addition to traveling through countries like Mauritania and Senegal, adding experiences and knowledge in some of the most demanding and fascinating environments of West Africa.

My career reflects a life dedicated to adventure, exploration, and passion for off-roading, values that I continue to transmit through each project and experience.
