Advice for Spain trip please 15-May-2014 At 9:04:04 AM Tastrad

Message

Planning on a 5 week trip December/January to Spain. I'm thinking El Chorro, Costa Blanca and the Siruana area, Catalunya. I would appreciate anyone's advice on the following things. Which is the best city to fly to - Madrid then hire a car? Or Malaga and do El Chorro, drive across to Costa Blanca, then drive up to Catalunya area. Or fly straight to Barcelona - do the Catalunya region then head south after that. Is it too cold, rainy at Siruana at xmas? Say we do those 3 regions, which is best place to base yourself and do day trips? Should I pre-book accomodation or just rock up and find an apartment or refugio? I'm travelling with my 16 yr old daughter who can climb up to 21 and 26 is my limit - please suggest some crags in these areas with lots of good quality moderate routes. Any other advice is much appreciated.
