‘Technically amazing, Great camp, please do more’ is summarizing the feedback we received from the few groups who tested our ‘new’ camp in 2018. Granada has very interesting terrain, is culturally varied and visited and actually gives you the option to sleep at ‘sea level’ or at ‘altitude’ (Sierra Nevada ski resort).
This DIY camp is available all year long. However, to note that:
Colored control tapes will be in the forest and regularly checked by our staff between 15Feb2019 and 15Mar2019.
Rest of year: tapes might still be there but this is not at all guaranteed.
Terrains are know to be technically and physically challenging, between 500 and 1500ms of altitude, ocated in the Huetor and Guadix Sierra’s east of Granada. Some of the higher areas can have snow during winter season, so this camp is best from end of February onwards.
We offer training packages of different sizes (MINI, MAXI), depending the duration of your stay and the amount of O-Trainings you want.

* from recommended hotel/restaurant Rutas de Lorca (Alfacar/Viznar)
Hospederia Ruta de Lorca is based in little town Alfacar (8km from Granada center) and 3km from the first O-maps. The hotel has 19 classic styled rooms and has a big restaurant with typical Andalusian food. we had a few small groups here in 2018, all happy with the (basic) rooms and nice food. booking.
Apartamentos Aguas de Viznar is another nice alternative for bigger groups as they have multiple apartments of different sizes and qualities. in 2018 we had a big group here and they were satisfied. booking
