Rock climbing
La Pedriza is a wonderful place to climb, it’s very well known by climbers in Spain, and Europe. Climbing sounds risky, but is less dangerous than other sports. We consider it an absolutely safe activity, a real challenge for children. From Spanish summer camp we can see climbers in the rock walls.
