Richie Patterson runs Casa Quiros - https://casaquiros.co.ukI would imagine that if he doesn't have availability he would have suggestions, and a general wealth of local knowledge
I really rate Desfiladero de La Hermida which is brilliant for 7b+ to 8a stamina stuff. I did not like Valles de Trubia at all. YMMV.The weather is a lot more varied than in other parts of Spain. It can be hot and dry with a southern wind and cold and (very) humid with northern wind.
We had a day at a crag called Cuevas that had an impressive wall with half a dozen 7s - easy 8s as good as anything I’ve done in Spain. No-one else there and possibly in the middle of nowhere!
Taverga is not great for stamina 7b+ to 8a in my opinion, or for vertical techy 6c-7bs. The place is huge, so I am sure there are many gems, but I climbed a bunch of routes in this range, chosen on random from the guidebook + looks and they were all unpleasant. The next day we went looking for techy long vertical routes around 7a. They were also unpleasant. So unpleasant that we fled the area and went to Hermida instead. We have gone back to Hermida several times since, and I have never gone back to Taverga. Maybe there were too many climbers around, bad connies, we were particularly unlucky in our choices (which were nevertheless inspired by the guidebook), but it would take a lot of convincing in order for us to go back. I would not take my–or anyone else's word–as the gospel, so get more opinionsQuote from: T_B on August 23, 2022, 12:54:44 pmWe had a day at a crag called Cuevas that had an impressive wall with half a dozen 7s - easy 8s as good as anything I’ve done in Spain. No-one else there and possibly in the middle of nowhere! Cueva what. Cueva just means cave, and half of the crags in Hermida are caves, so the bit after Cueva is pretty important...
