Need help: Via ferratas in Spain
|

Hi,
in September I'm going to Spain. Since it's an extended weekend, I'd like to spend 2 days somewhere in the mountains or climb a via ferrata. At home I can manage via ferratas rated C (Mojstrana, Hvadnik, Sp. Plot).
Does anyone have recommendations or experiences?
Thanks for the help.

True, it's big. I'd go to the mainland. The rest is still up in the air… I'm thinking of flying to Madrid… I'll decide based on suggestions where to the mountains. 😀
Anyway turbo thanks for the suggestions.

Hi
Son lives in Madrid and on weekends visits nearby mountains not too far from the city. Last year I joined him and we visited the nearby range that Madrid people visit. I was surprised by the beautiful mountains, one hour by train from Madrid. Train connection is excellent. No ferrata, but nice rocks for climbing and wonderful landscape. I informed son and if he finds something useful, he'll reply to you.

Hey, Geppo's son here and Madrid local. 
Near Madrid you have amazing mountains (Sierra de Guadarrama), easily accessible by public transport - train/bus takes you almost to the trail start. Ferratas practically none, just some simple ones if you google "Via Cuervo Madrid". If you rent a car, then in the "surroundings" (in Spain means up to 2h away) of Madrid there are quite a few ferratas routed through river valleys, especially towards Guadalajara or Cuenca. Sadly I'm not that drawn to ferratas and don't know them (lots of hits on Google), near Madrid I can suggest some more concrete trails though.
