Forgot to mention earlier - what about Ulassai in Sardinia?
Quote from: Samr on October 14, 2023, 09:32:57 pmIn a similar vain to the málaga recommendation, I will recommend Granada province. New guidebook just out (escalada deportiva Granada). Loads of crags full of 7s-8s (most popular ones being cogollos vega, poloria and cahorros). In your dates you are also just in time for Los Vados - pared de la virgen for class multi pitches (bird banned from 15th November).Unless you stay at the climbers hostel in cogollos, you'll probably want a rental care to visit all the crags though. I live in Granada so let me know if you want any more information.Reguchillo, near Jaén, is an hour north of Granada. I've not been but it is quite extensive and gets good reports from friends who climb in the high 7s and are reasonably tasteful about climbing. They recommended it as a warm and dry mid-winter venue so it might be hot in October?

New guide doesn’t look to be available to buy in UK. If anyone in Sheffield happens to have a copy that I could borrow that’d be amazing
I noticed Loja is in that guide - don’t be tempted to drive that far without checking the access. The lower crag is amazing but was all fenced off when I last went and the upper crag isn’t worth the effort!
