The Best Place to Climb in Villafranca de Córdoba
The Peñón del Águila
Also known as Peñón del Jituero, it ranks in the top 10 of the best climbing areas in the entire province. Its exact location is at kilometer 7.1 of the CO-412 local road, halfway between the towns of Adamuz and Pedro Abad.
It is a magnificent sector for attacking the rock during summer mornings, as its orientation offers very welcome shade early in the day. The setting is spectacular: it has areas suitable for camping and a crystal-clear stream that runs almost at the foot of the wall.
Technically, climbers can face more than 20 equipped routes. It offers a very versatile range of difficulties, starting from an accessible III+ ideal for beginners, up to demanding 8b grade routes for the most experienced. Additionally, the area has two solid anchors perfectly enabled for training abseiling maneuvers.
