Pinares de San Anton(Malaga)
There are lots more crags in Granada within easy driving distance; Cahorros is a surreal valley on the outskirts of Granada with loads of climbing at all levels and a hard grading system. Also close to Granada are Cogollos (Steep 7s) and Alfacar (5s and 6s) Climbing in Villanueva del Rosario
There is no published guide to climbing around Villanueva del Rosario, but with the kind help of the local climbers we have tried to document the area a few years ago. many more roues have been added so the best way to know about bthem is to go and ask he locals.
There is a general consensus that this information should not be made freely available in order to maintain the tranquility of the area - thus there is no general access to this information - sorry.

El Torcalito - Climbing in Malaga
The map below outlines the position of the El Torcalito crags - this is a small, but neat little bouldering area on the outskirts of the city. It is steep and thuggy - reminiscent of the steep bit of Rubicon in the Peak District. There is a fair bit of sika around which has been to both build and reinforce holds.
El Torcalito offers rain proof bouldering and about 4 short steep routes.
The parking in at a small layby on the left hand side of the dirt access road - there is space for 6 or so cars here. The crag is found by continuing on foot up the dirt road for another another 20 m until an unmarked footpath heads off slightly to the right into the woods. Follow this track for a couple of hundred metres until you are at a small makeshift gate marked 'No Entry'. Go through this and the crag is straight ahead and on your left.
It is a popular venue for the Malaga climbers - please respect them if you go there; say hello (Hola! pronounced Ola) and don't just ignore them. They are friendly and very helpful and so reciprocate - it is their area you are visiting.

Villanueva de Cauche - New Crag
Villanueva de Cauche has also a climbing sector known as El Colmillo. The long corner line running up the entire cliff is a 5 pitch trad route that goes at a UK HVS / E1 with bolted belays, whilst the red wall to it's right is an amazing climbers playground.
At the moment, there are about 20 routes here varying from 6a to 7c+ which are brilliant; 20 to 30m of intricate climbing on great rock up a slightly overhanging wall.
Once you get there the locals will help you the grades and recommendaions.
