Albarracin is an extremely popular bouldering destination in eastern Spain. Easily accessible, abundant in low to mid grade problems and with extremely reliable weather, the area is a fantastic alternative to Fontainebleau for a Spring or Autumn trip, as well as a decent winter venue. Unfortunately, it has also been a victim of its own success over the years and here more than anywhere else it is extremely important to follow basic rules when visiting the boulders.
It's always been a place of interest to me, but it's reputation as being a large open-air toilet, as well as generally a fine example of how not to treat the great outdoors really puts me off...
I don't think so either. I was last there 18 months ago ago didn't notice any bad toilet behaviour.
The rock and problem quality is great. I don't think it'd hold up as well as Font sandstone given the same amount of traffic but I can't see that happening any time soon.
Went there in march/April.Brilliant place no real evidence of human waste up at the crag.Up there with the best.The only thing I'd say is most problems need 2 or more mats imo.So tricky if travelling solo.
