Big Group - Europe Summer Destination

I'm planning a trip for a group of roughly 15 people which makes is kind of tricky . Any advice is appreciated.

Here is my ticklist for the destination:
-Mainly single pitch sport climbing
-Europe
-Cool enough to climb in June
-Good spread of grades
-No need for car hire (Can walk to crag and shops etc. from the accommodation)

Was thinking El Chorro but have been told it will be too hot.
Also Paklenica possibly?
Ariege? Think we may needs cars for here?

Thanks
Josh

Transport is very useful to make the most of Ariège climbing, particularly in summer and when you have a mixed-ability group. If we're around we would be able to offer minibus shuttle transport from Chez Arran to nearby crags for a small charge, and there are a number of crags accessible from here on foot and many more by bike, but being independently mobile is certainly a lot more straightforward. Apart from that it's usually a good bet in June, although this year's freak June heatwave had us doubting that at times!

Another possible option would be to hire our 9-seater bus for the week and to do your own local shuttling. We haven't done this with any group as yet but we've looked into the possibility of using online self-hire companies and it looks to be fairly straightforward and economic to do and would only need a car-class licence.

Dolomites, Alta Badia is a good base. lots of single pitch sport as well as multipitch sport and trad if you fancy a change, and via ferratas for rest days.
