We are based south of Granada in Lanjaron, which gives us access to some great Via Ferrata areas. For the fit and experienced, the Castala and Cadiar via ferratas can be combined into one long (but tiring!) day. Others will be more than content and satisfied with the 4 hour Castala one.
Via Ferrata Castala, Almeria
We recommend this new area as it is very varied and full of interest. Included are:
- 2 Tyrolean traverses
- Himalayan bridges
- Pendulums
- Abseils
Grade is between K2 and K5. The hardest sections (K5) are avoidable.
Length is between 3 to 4 hours of vertical fun!
If after 3 or 4 hours of the Via Ferrata at Castala you want even more ... we have the Via Ferrata at Cadiar on the return journey back to Lanjaron (see below)
Via Ferrata Cadiar
Accesible just outside of the town of Cadiar this Via Ferrata has routes betwen K2 and K4 available. probably enough for a couple of hours excitement.
There is a tyrolean traverse, a pendulum, a himalayan bridge, traverses into caves and steep vertical ladder sections. All extremeley interesting.

Other Via Ferratas we offer
Via Ferrata Moclin
Located at Tajo de Sopalmo, an interesting route with a good mix of bridges and traverses. Total length 480m.
Via Ferrata Lecrin Valley
It is full of adrenaline busting adventures! One of the highlights is the tyrolean traverse into the depths of a huge cave, another is the tightrope walk across the gorge. Not for the faint hearted but great adventure nevertheless.
This exciting and relatively new via ferrata is situated just outside of the village of Saleres in the Lecrin Valley, 20 minutes drive from the main Granada-Motril motorway. It is based in the Barranco de Luna, which in itself is a fascinating place to visit.
Via Ferrata Los Vados
Incredible exposure, 300m height, 15 pitch Via Ferrata. Ladders & chain but requiring rope protection. Amazing ascent of some 300m+ up a spectacular rock wall in a gorge. For those that have vertigo, stay at home! Primarily aimed at rock climbers
