PROJECT ESPAÑA 2027
SIURANA
Week Three of Project España: six climbing days (rest day optional) on the same crimpy, compact limestone that helped shape sport climbing history, above a medieval village overlooking Catalonia's wine country.

Siurana is a pilgrimage site for a reason: compact, feature-rich limestone perched on a dramatic ridge above the Priorat wine region, on the same walls that helped shape sport climbing as we know it.
After building endurance in Chulilla, this is where the trip gets technical. Precision footwork, subtle body positioning, and genuine creative problem-solving across sectors like L'Olla, El Pati, and La Siuranella — routes that reward finesse over brute strength, whatever grade you're pushing.
Between sessions, settle into a perfectly preserved medieval village for local olive oil, regional wine, and the kind of international climbing culture that's been drawn to these storied walls for generations.

No stock photos, no staged sends — just climbers earning it on the walls that shaped the sport.
The Endurance Graduate
You've built stamina in Chulilla, and now it's time to trade sustained pump for precision, subtlety, and genuinely creative movement.
The Climbing Historian
You want to touch walls that have shaped sport climbing for generations, and maybe watch an elite athlete working a project while you're there.

The Venue
A legendary destination perched atop a dramatic limestone ridge in Catalonia — compact, feature-rich rock that has drawn sport climbers on pilgrimage for generations, home to sectors like L'Olla, El Pati, and La Siuranella.
The perfectly preserved medieval village above the Priorat wine region adds a cultural richness few climbing destinations can match — cobblestone streets, commanding views, and some of Spain's best local wine within walking distance of the crag.

Arturo Aparicio
Meet guideGuide & Performance Coach
Arturo found climbing after years of surfing in Tenerife, and never looked back. Guiding every leg of Project España, he brings the same patient, technique-focused coaching to Siurana's precision game as he did to the trip's earlier, more power-oriented legs.
Results
What Past Climbers Say
Chulilla taught me to push through the pump. Siurana taught me I didn't always need to. Completely different lesson, equally valuable.
Watching a pro quietly working a project two sectors over while I fumbled through 6a was equal parts humbling and completely inspiring.
Evenings in the village with local wine and other climbers' beta were honestly as memorable as anything that happened on the wall.

FAQ
Common Questions
What level do I need to be?
Previous outdoor sport climbing experience is expected, with a minimum lead grade of indoor 6a or outdoor 5. Suitable for women and men aged 15 and up; physical intensity is medium to high.
Do I need my own gear?
Bring climbing shoes and a harness you trust. We provide belay devices, helmets, and slings, plus a full kit list once you book (down jacket, headlamp, sleeping bag, approach shoes).
Is food included?
Food arrangements and any included meals are confirmed before departure.
Can I join this leg without doing Weeks 1 or 2?
Yes — every leg works as a standalone week. Siurana's technical style is genuinely its own thing, so you don't need Chulilla's endurance focus behind you to get real value here.
What if fewer than 3 people book?
We need a minimum of 3 participants to run this leg. If numbers don't add up, we'll offer an equivalent (or better) alternative, or a full refund. No hard feelings.
Where do I fly in and out of?
Barcelona International Airport, for both arrival and departure.
