Description

Join me on this very unique experience in the town of Salobreña, in the municipality of Granada, Spain. Explore this beautiful place, on this via cordata adventure.

Via Cordata is not simply via ferrata, nor pure mountaineering. It is an amazing combination which requires using ropes and other elements of both activities. And one of the best places to practice this unique sport is on the wall known as La Canal, in Los Vados, Salobreña.

This route is for intermediate climbers, but beginners can also take it. However, participants must have previous climbing knowledge, especially on ascents and progression. Also, in order to participate you should at least be familiarized with the material for rock and sport climbing.

Moreover, the top of this wall will offer the best and most hypnotizing views of Salobreña, an enchanting spanish town that lies near the Mediterranean sea. It borders the lovely municipalities of Almuñecar, Itrabo and Motril, Molí Cazar, Vélez de Benaudalla. So, the sceneries you’ll get all throughout this journey will simply take your breath away.

What’s more, the weather here is beautiful, with warm days of no more than 24ºC during the summer, and around the 12ºC on winter. And of course, it’s blessed with a refreshing breeze carried all the way from the Mediterranean ocean. So, what a better place to embark on this via cordata adventure than this spectacular town in Spain?

Do you want to join me? Send me a request. I promise it will be an amazing adventure you’ll cherish for life!

Please note that to join this activity you must have a good physical level and previous climbing experience. If you don’t, you can join this 2-day introduction to rock climbing in Granada.

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
