Title: Bouldering in western algarve
Post by: travs on May 22, 2008, 02:42:46 pm

OK, so I'm going on holiday to Portugal, Lagos area, and whilst I know there is routing to do around Sagres, does anyone know of any bouldering in the area?

Thanks for any help.

Travs,

I posted this not too long ago. Lisbon is probably a bit far north, but you could enquire with the guy who's blog it is if he knows of anything.

there is a bouldering wall in Zavial you have the place located in the map that appears in http://www.havefuninthesun.co.uk.
for a topo and photos check this: http://algarviomarafado.blogspot.com/search?q=zavial ( lots of projects )
if you want more bouldering spots, you should go Lisbon ( and around Lisbon ) but i don´t think the weather is good these days so i would stay in Algarve ;)
have fun and anything else i can help just ask
