Guided Climbing in Los Galayos - Gredos

The magnificent Galayar bastions are the quintessential alpine climbing school in the Central Region. 180 kilometers from Madrid, nestled in the Gredos massif, its high peaks create a fantastic and evocative, yet haunting, landscape; its wall was once described as "of tragic beauty." Far from fashionable circles, its hundreds of routes await every weekend the select few who make the nearly three-hour trek to the base. For hikers, the Galayars represent a constant surprise on one of the most beautiful hikes in the Iberian Peninsula.

The first glimpse of Galayar leaves a memory that's hard to forget, especially if you're lucky and are alone, or at least with few people. Its unmistakable profile, with at least forty imposing spires reaching up to 300 meters, bordering on verticality, forming perfect prisms and slender peaks.

Galayo is a word of Arabic origin that means bare rock that rises on a mountain, a rocky prominence, bare and isolated.

Los Galayos is an abyss paradise. It has everything, even adhesion plates. More than 300 routes up to 8a+. However, the vast majority must be protected with friends and nuts. No chemical bolts or prabolts, except on very rare occasions. There are some bolts or spits from the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s, when the rise of aid created all kinds of routes previously impossible using stirrups.
