| This crag has massive potential, since very little has been developed as yet. The Rocca di Alaró is impressively large and can easily be identified from the plane when coming in to land at Palma. Two areas have been bolted up: the "Paret de sa porta" beneath the Castillo and the "Sector Chorreras" on the right-hand side of the crag. Between these two lies "El Medio" with 10 routes between 5+ and 7b+. Orientation and climate Il Castillo lies at roughly 700m and is extremely exposed to all weather conditions. Chorrera means tufa, so obviously the crag seeps after prolonged periods of rain. The sun arrives at around midday (one hour later on "Mega Tufa Wall"). |

| Getting there Alaró can easily be reached via the C713. Turn off the main road onto a dirt track, following the sign for "Castillo di Alaró". Park the car by the restaurant and follow the obvious path diagonally beneath the "Paret de sa porta". To get to the "Sector Chorreras", follow the path from the restaurant diagonally along a stone wall until the path leads away rapidly away from the wall. Climb down at this point and continue rightwards past some more dry stone walls beneath the crag . The routes are above and to the left. |
