From the entrance to Guadalcázar, drive out of town towards the highway and follow the signs up to the town of El Realejo. The turn off is marked by a small red building (bus stop) with signs displaying the caves. Drive up this road as it winds up the mountain. Follow it straight until you reach El Realejo (a small town with a school and a church on your right). Shortly after the road turns to dirt, Salitre will be clearly visible on your right. Park next to an old badly attached gate on your right or open the gate and park inside. Follow the trail to the cliff.
Most of the climbing in Guadalcázar is in limestone caves filled with stalactites. These caves have been forming for million years and have very delicate ecosystems. Please be respectful to the plants and animals that live in these caves. Stalactites can break and when they do it can be very dangerous for you or your partner. Wearing a helmet when climbing is recommended and being alert of your surrounds at all times.
When climbing on the stalactites, try to grab the stalactites at the strongest point. The closer to the wall you grab the stalactite the better. Climbing in these caves is a very different experience from any other type of rock and it is important to try to keep the stalactites intact as much as possible. Most of the routes in the cave have been cleaned well, but there is always the chance of a stalactite breaking. The rock in the cave is very solid and most of the time you wont break anything.
