Introduction
Andalucia is one of the broadest entries on this site, and the honest frame is regional, not a single crag. El Chorro is the name most climbers know first, but the region also documents major sport, trad and multi-pitch areas at San Bartolo, Grazalema, Los Cahorros and Torcal de Antequera, plus smaller documented crags across Granada and Cadiz provinces.
The old page quoted a single "3,600+ routes" figure for the whole region. That number is real -- it comes from Climb Europe's Andalucia sport guidebook description -- but it is a single-source marketing estimate. theCrag's own regional totals for El Chorro, Granada and Cadiz alone already add up to roughly 6,100 routes, while Mountain Project documents far fewer areas and a much lower total. We now report route counts as sourced ranges by area instead of one blended regional figure -- see the Route Counts section.
Pick the base around the trip you actually want: El Chorro for gorge sport and multi-pitch, San Bartolo for sandstone and winter-sun trad, Grazalema or Los Cahorros for limestone sport with real trad options, or a road-trip plan linking several areas.
