Sport climbing in Andalusia

Good shout Teaboy :thumbsup:
Spoiler: it’s not a palace, it’s a series of palaces and gardens forming a hilltop citadel. No better way to help understand the Moorish heritage of Spain.

The Alhambra has to be a contender for one of the world’s most beautiful buildings. A masterpiece of Islamic architecture.

Thanks all!
We are currently discussing if we should go to Andalusia, Mallorca or Sella. Sella has the advantage of being at driving distance from BCN. One of the main reasons for going to Andalusia is to see some of the sights, so don't worry Alhambra will surely be visited if we go!
SA Chris:
If you choose it, Mallorca is a big island, with not a lot of great roads, so worth carefully choosing the crags you want to prioritise and pick accommodation accordingly. I know it sounds obvious, but we were used to roads on Canary Islands (dead straight and dead quiet) and ended up in the car a lot more than we intended to be when we went.

Oh, if you do go to Sella then try to visit Altea en route (but not Altea la Vella). Very attractive little seaside/hilly village with some excellent restaurants, heavily pedestrianised and easy to stroll around. I stayed there in 2017 and it was thoroughly enchanting. Nearby, Shogun 7b+ at Castellet de Calp involves some Tufa pulling and is a total romp with a 'typewriter' move as the crux.
Castell de Guadalest is a very scenic family visit too with great views. Additionally the crag beneath it has some varied flowstone/tufa routes though all 6s and below. Charming relaxed day activity.
Also agree with what Chris said about Mallorca
