Riglos is great. It's a rather attractive part of Spain and a popular weekend destination with more than just climbers. The birdlife is amazing, especially the Lammergeiers. There is convenience store, bar and refugio. The latter was full of noisy teenagers when we were there. We bivied discretely which seemed to be tolerated. It might be getting chilly in November, it seemed like a September-October or April-May venue on the basis of a single visit in late April.
Do you reckon this will be too hot to climb?
