Champiñones aka. Mushroom is a newly opened sector next to La fuente. It looks like small stone mushrooms has grown next to each other here so most stuff is low, but starts with a roof and finishes of with a mantel.
This is a nice spot to spend time with your family or friends, everyone close to each other.
Something to try here would be:
Pin pon /B
El Ovni 7A
Umbria (corto) 8A
Tardigrado 7B/+
techo de los alemanes 7A
mushroom traverse 6B
just to mention a few.
ALBARRACÍN
Albarracín is the Spanish Fontainebleau. The red colored sandstones offers good roof problems, slabs and overhangs in over 10 sectors. There is enormous potential to open new routes, but it is very important, that the local rules are obeyed.
LIMITED ACCESS AND FORBIDDEN SECTORS
Climbing has been limited in Albarracín area due the bird nesting and protecting the nature. Most sectors are open, but the following sectors are closed since 2014 (Climbing is FORBIDDEN ALL YEAR AROUND in these sectors):
Península
Madriles/Acantilados
upper part of Valle de Madera
Psicokiller
Mirador
Sol
Masia
Anywhere within 30 m of the road or rock paintings.
.
The aim of the restriction is to protect the natural bird nesting areas. These restrictions have been placed cause some climbers did not respect the nesting periods, that had been placed before. It is important that everybody respects 100% the prohibition in order to keep these areas safe and quiet. Following these rules is also important, so that there wouldn’t come more restrictions and bouldering in Albarracín would be possible also in the future.
These are the all year around open sectors on their own crag pages:
PARKING - The closest area to the main parking with many classic problems
CABRERIZO - Closest area to cabrerizo parking and has many new developed lines down the chilly valley
ARRASTRADERO - The biggest area around

LA FUENTE - nice outspread area with something for everyone close to the parking
CHAMPIÑONES - Next to La fuente a small area filled with small rock mushrooms
