Overview
Next Trip Dates: 5th – 11th November 2023
This trip will take you to one of Europe’s top rock climbing destinations – El Chorro. Situated in the mountains just 50km North of Malaga in the province of Andalucía the area is truly stunning.
Here you will take on some amazing rock climbing and also get the chance to walk the incredible Caminito Del Rey (The Kings Little Pathway) which hugs the wall of a stunning gorge 110 metres above the gorge floor.
This has been one of our most popular trips to date with some people coming back to join us as many as 7 times.
The Area & The Climbing
El Chorro consists of a huge variety of superb crags boasting an abundance of excellent sport climbing routes covering a vast grade range making it the perfect location for any level of climber.
Complementing the climbing is the region itself with the inland mountains dotted with classic Andalusian villages that cling to the sides or perch on the summits of the hills that rise up from the centre of the range.
The small towns and villages themselves are excellent places to soak up some of the area’s relaxed culture and eat at the seemingly limitless number of Tapas bars.
El Chorro’s reputation for top notch sport climbing, stunning countryside and its near perfect off season climbing weather make it an ideal destination for a first-time winter sun seeker or experienced visitor looking for a new challenge. Everyone from beginners up to the experienced climber can bask in the undoubted charm of this beautiful part of the world.
Accommodation
Throughout the trip you will stay in the group’s own Private Villa with Private Pool. This stunning villa is situated high on the hill and boasts fantastic panoramic views of the countryside and surrounding mountains.
With its large bedrooms most of which are en-suite, comfortable living room with log fire and UK TV, big patio with BBQ area and of course the beautiful swimming pool the group really will be staying in luxury.
The accommodation will be 2 people per room or sometimes 3 in the largest room. All rooms are divided into male & female rooms. Unfortunately there is no Single occupancy available for this trip.
Dining
The trip is fully catered by the group’s own travelling Chef so no need to worry about cooking after a long day at the crag. Breakfast will be laid on each morning of your trip to ensure your get a good start to the day.
Most days we will return to the Villa for lunch where Austin will have his superb lunch spread awaiting us.
On days where we may be a little further away from the villa it is necessary to bring a pack lunch along with us. In this case lunch provisions will be laid out after breakfast. Each evening you will return to a good hearty dinner.
All meals are included in your package however on the middle day of our trip we give the Chef a day off so lunch and dinner will not be included. We will however bring you to some excellent local restaurants and Tapas Bars where you can indulge in some of the beautiful local cuisine.
