Wanted: Climbing hostel recommendations

I'm looking to do a solo climbing trip somewhere in Europe or Northern Africa, so I'm after some ideas on where I can easily find a good climbing community i.e. a climbing hostel or refuge where I'm likely to find a partner for a one week trip. 

Climbing wise, I'd prefer a sport climbing destination catering for the low/mid f7 climber, but I'm open to suggestions. Ideas at the moment are Kalandraka in Spain, Geyikbayi in Turkey; not so sure about the Olive Branch. Or maybe something in Scandinavia come summer time. 

Any suggestions? One the best climbing trips I've done was a few years back in Refugio Frey, Argentina....

Edit: Ideally travelling in March

Would help to know time of year? I had a brilliant time at El Altico in Chulilla a couple of years ago - great scene for meeting partners (though I have heard from others it can be quiet, so maybe I just got really lucky)

It could be worth checking out the Eco Refugio at Abella de la conca, in Catalunya, and March is good time to go.

Possibly as a solo traveller it maybe worth going on one of the courses there, then you would definitely get partners.

www.tizourgane-kasbah.com is a great place to stay if you are climbing in the Jebel El kest in Morocco.

Camp Geyik in Geyikbayiri was lovely and not as loud and busy as Josito where everyone seems to recommend!

But I would suggest, just about the worst place to go on a Solo trip.

Especially for F7 sport.
