The Southern Spanish province of Andalucia is covered in amazing crags and the perfect location for a rock climbing holiday. El Chorro is justifiably famous, but there are many other crags worthy of attention; the sandstone cliffs of Tarifa, the stamina limestone routes of Grazelema, the pinnacles of Torcal and the caves of Archidona. Not to mention the extensive climbing at Loja, Villanueva del Rosario, Turon and Cahorros.

The Rock Climbing Company can offer personalised climbing instruction, performance coaching and guiding at all these sun rock holiday venues.
