Having looked at this I these places are within a few tens of km of
each other.  The valley itself is perhaps 30-50km long.  If the worst
comes to the worst we can hire a car and drive a group there from
Caceres.

I think more detailed planning will have to involve local knowledge,
locally obtainable maps (rather than going by google.es's
topographical), etc. but it looks feasible enough.

I really only have the kit you need for indoor climbing (not even a
rope, although one is on my wishlist...)  Does anyone here have
suitable outdoor gear (a rope or two, and nuts and so forth) ?

If someone does and says they will bring it, I will bring what I do
have: a harness, boots (UK size 8.5 IIRC), belay device, and a spare
carabiner and a sling.

I will be doing my packing tomorrow night so I need an affirmative by
then.

Ian.
