Comment on Orange rock and orange naranjas in Chulilla by Jon Leighton https://thesendtrain.com/2014/04/08/orange-rock-and-orange-naranjas-in-chulilla/comment-page-1/#comment-132 Tue, 12 May 2015 12:57:55 +0000 http://thesendtrain.com/?p=120#comment-132 In reply to Hamad.

It might have changed a bit since we were there as I’ve heard of lots of people going since then, however while we were there there weren’t lots of people staying and nobody on their own. That said, there were more people staying elsewhere in other accommodation, vans, etc. It’s definitely not going to be as easy as somewhere like Rodellar or Ceuse, but it’s probably doable.

I am considering a 3 week trip to Chulilla around October/November. But since most of my friends won’t be able to join, I’ll have to go alone, which I don’t mind as long as I can find climbing partners. So I was wondering what is the scene like in chulilla? And Is it easy to meet climbing partners there or at the hostel?

Thanks, glad you like my blog! If you are going on your own I reckon Geyikbayiri will be a safer bet – there’s more of a “scene” there so I think it’ll be easier to find partners. Met a guy who was working at Josito when I was there and it does seem like a good way to do a longer trip. Also I think there’s probably more climbing in Geyikbayiri than in Chulilla (though I doubt you’d run out in a month and a half in either place). However both places are great so you probably can’t go wrong either way… have fun!

I just stumbled across your blog and really enjoy it! I have a question… I am trying to decide if I should spend February-mid March in Chulilla or Geyikbayiri. I’ve got a work exchange I could do at Josito, which is a plus for Turkey (free food and lodging is pretty nice!), but I love speaking Spanish and Chulilla looks awesome, which is a plus for Spain. Any advice? I am sure I will be returning to Spain in the future, whereas I am not sure I would ever go to Turkey if not now. Thanks!
