Climbing in El Chorro

El Chorro is one of the most important crags in Spain, and worldwide recognized by the quality of their routes and its weather. The main reasons are the variety of their crags, their orientations and the different climbing styles available. This is one of the prefeered central-european climbers' international destinations for spring and winter.
