San Martín de Valdeiglesias, located in the Community of Madrid, is a popular climbing destination known for its granite rock and a wide variety of sport climbing routes. The main area, near the Ermita Virgen de la Nueva, offers over 320 bolted routes spread across 17 sectors, with grades ranging from III+ to 8b, making it suitable for both beginners and advanced climbers.
The climbing style varies from slabs and cracks to overhangs and technical faces, and route lengths range from short 5-meter climbs to multi-pitch routes up to 70 meters. Thanks to its diverse orientations, the crag is climbable all year round, with shade available in summer and sunny faces in winter.
Most sectors are easily accessible with a short 5 to 15-minute walk from the main parking area. Notable sectors include Pared Larga del Mirador and Mirador Romántico, which offer mid-grade routes, while El Callejón presents more challenging lines up to 8a+. Climbers are encouraged to use a helmet, consult online topos for navigation, and respect the natural environment.
After a day on the rock, many enjoy relaxing at the nearby Pantano de San Juan, a scenic lake perfect for swimming and unwinding.
