2009. 200 pp, 100s color photos, topos, maps. A new guidebook to the superb and varied crags near El Chorro of Southern Spain and its spectacular gorge, and in the surrounding area. This book is a major update of the old El Chorro information from the 2001 guide, featuring a new set of crag shots, full-colour photo-topos and the modern Rockfax presentation.
The development of the cliffs in and around El Chorro village has continued at an impressive rate since the publication of the last Rockfax guide to the area in 2001. This coupled with the expansion of the outlying areas, and the development of new cliffs, has kept the area well furnished with new routes throughout the grade range and offers both the first-timer and the seasoned El Chorro visitor something new to go at.
The latest Rockfax guidebook to El Chorro is the first in the Rockfax series to be solely dedicated to El Chorro and its surrounding crags. The guidebook is illustrated with plenty of action photographs and is presented in the latest Rockfax style with over 1000 routes illustrated on full-colour photo-topos to all of the crags. Comprehensive information on approaches, accommodation, eating and drinking, transportation and other activities, so important to the easy planning and enjoyment of a visit, is also included.
