Would Sagres be a terrible idea?

Not sure how much there is, the RF Guide doesn't show that much. Also I think water will be chillier than the Med and you are at the mercy of Atlantic swells; it's a pretty exposed spot. Mallorca sounds like a better bet, you might even be able to get a cheap package deal.

Croatia is really cheap when you're there and has topos aplenty available.

Flying into Zadar is pretty cheap, it's a nice town to explore and you're pretty close to Split, Paklenica and other non-climby stuff.

Got a mate who has been to split a few times and says its brilliant for a bit of a climb... Access to climbs etc all sounds easy...

Headed to mallorca now - Around split looks incredible though, its on the list now. cheers for all the tips so far

Any advice on bolt clipping or DWS on mallorca next week? Looking for easies as I am with the mrs - guessing shady is good too!

Planning on bivvying/hostelling, any knowledge in that department?

La Creveta and Sa Gubia have plenty of good sports climbs <7a and a smattering < 6a in both.
