A WORLD CLASS CLIMBING DESTINATION WITH OVER 2000 ROUTES

Whatever grade you climb or style you prefer, you are guaranteed to find many routes you will love. Our guesthouse is in a prime location just 200 metres from the Las Encantadas crag and within easy walking distance of Frontales, Escalara Arabe and The Gorge itself. Climbing season in El Chorro is nearly all year round. December to March is the busiest time here for climbers, with the many south facing walls making the best of the winter sun, but Spring and Autumn can provide the nicest conditions, with warmer weather and long hours of sunlight. It is only the very hottest months of July and August that can make climbing difficult, but even then a little local knowledge can keep you in the shade and enjoying your day.
