Description

Large and pleasant crag, a must-visit if you are in the south-west of the island. The sectors are very different from each other, both in difficulty and style. Trees at the wall's base give some shadow on warm days (exception: sector 'Colmena'), but the rocks seep badly after rainfall.

Access issues

There have been major access issues with the landowners. Sector solarium is now permanently closed for climbing. In the other sectors try to keep a very low profile to avoid the closure of the entire crag.

Approach

Follow the Ma-1 from Palma towards Andratx. Just a bit before Andratx, after a hill, a small road sharply exits to the right. Park your car carefully after about 200m - there is significant activity of trucks around the waterwork building, which should not be interfered.

From parking, either follow the large track up the hill behind the trees (sector Sombra) turning left at an old wall (sectors Corral, Colmena) or start using the small track to the left before the fence / gate (sectors Salto, Duck, To Pa Ti, Rigor Mortis). There is a path along the cliffs to change sectors, too.
