This Tarifa climbing holiday in Spain is beginner-friendly! The program is specifically tailored for beginner and intermediate climbers. Good physical shape is important, but don’t worry—regardless of your climbing grade, you’ll always find a partner matching your level, and if that’s not the case, your guide will be there for you.

Rock climbing is more about using good movement technique rather than muscling up a cliff using brute strength. To ensure you have a fun retreat, your guide will be there to supervise the climbing and to help all the climbers to improve their skills, and to choose routes that best suit your skill and fitness level.

Your guide will bring ropes and quickdraws for the group. It’s recommended that you bring your own climbing shoes, harness, belay devices, and helmet if you use one. There are no rental shops in Tarifa, so it’s best to bring your own equipment. If you’d like to bring your own ropes and quickdraws, that’s even better since you’re used to them.

For colder months (October through February), it’s advisable to bring along some warm clothing, particularly for the afternoons and evenings. Additionally, pack shorts and several t-shirts as it can get hot during midday when exposed to the sun.
