February 21, 2020by Dominic Leave a comment

Jaén – Castillo de Santa Catalina and Reguchillo

February 19, 2020by Dominic Leave a comment

We’d pretty much wrung the last drops from the climbing available in Portugal, which coincided perfectly with the first day of dodgy weather in ages. Time to head East! We […]

February 16, 2020by Dominic Leave a comment

We’re staying just west of the Portuguese – Spanish border, near Marvão (in sight of its Marvã-ous castle)… in order to climb at Escusa. We thought that it was completely […]

Pinares de San Antón 

January 28, 2018by Dominic Leave a comment

Back to Puerto Rico 

January 26, 2018by Dominic 2 Comments

Reguchillo revisited and so much more around Jaén 

January 24, 2018by Dominic 1 Comment

Reguchillo was one of the major “finds” from our Andalusia adventures last year, although we only had a short day there between downpours. It certainly ticked the “one to come […]

Los Cahorros 

January 22, 2018by Dominic 2 Comments

We’d tried to find Granada’s most traditional and spectacular climbing area on a trip about 23 years ago, and didn’t make it to the car park. Armed with GPS and […]

Alfacar and a Velex Rubio recce 

January 21, 2018by Dominic Leave a comment

Heading towards Granada we decided to recce a promising looking crag at Velex Rubio – just off the motorway and the perfect spot to break the journey… Ah, the wonders […]

Atalaya, Cieza 

January 20, 2018by Dominic 1 Comment

Hard to believe that almost exactly a year ago we were fleeing the Costa Blanca as howling winds and snow storms swept in! This year we’ve been consistently basking in […]

December 22, 2017by Dominic Leave a comment

December 21, 2017by Dominic Leave a comment

El Makinodromo and playing with trains

December 21, 2017by Dominic Leave a comment

With the opening of the refurbished “Camineto del Rey” El Chorro is really on the map, with a thousand visitors on busy days! There was certainly quite a procession in […]

Puerto Rico – the Spanish one 

December 19, 2017by Dominic Leave a comment

After his exertions on Shark Attack Jake decided on a rest day (sensible chap – don’t know where he gets it from), but offered to undertake belay duty for the […]

Frontales and Poema Roca 

December 18, 2017by Dominic 2 Comments

Back to the sunny side and a day on Frontales. We meandered along without much of a plan until beneath sector Momia, and ended up warming up on a 7a, […]

Desplomilandia – chillin! 

December 17, 2017by Dominic Leave a comment

Back to Cacin

February 4, 2017by Dominic Leave a comment
