Bouldering in western algarve
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.

Hi Geezer,

Thanks for the reply, where is the 'scary movie' area and how much bouldering is there?

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 donīt think the weather is good these days so i would stay in Algarve ;)
have fun and anything else i can help just ask
