Rock climbing is an addicting extreme sport for those who love adventure. It is a sport that enables you to challenge yourself to your limits while letting you marvel at the beauty of nature.
Whether you are a novice or an experienced climber, you would want to find superb limestone or granite cliffs to climb. You would want to climb in perfect weather conditions that are neither too hot nor too cold. You can find the perfect conditions to climb in many regions in Spain. Rock climbers enjoy their holidays to Spain because of the nation's perfect climbing conditions. In fact, Spain is rapidly becoming Europe's premier rock climbing venue. A large number of the most well-known and established crags are just a stone's throw away from main tourist areas and coastal cities. Furthermore, new climbing areas are being discovered and established.
For instance, the areas surrounding Costa Blanca exemplify some of the world's best rock climbing routes with their magnificent limestone cliffs. There are unspoiled cliffs for traditional climbing, bolted crags for sport climbing, and multi-pitch routes for multi-day climbs. Many of these routes are very accessible, with just a few minutes walk away from the road.
If you wish to go rock climbing and at the same time enjoy the nearby beaches during your holidays to Spain, go to the resort islands of Tenerife, Gran Canary, Costa Adeje Gran Hotel, Ibiza, and Mallorca. They are some of Europe's most well-known rock climbing venues featuring single to double-pitch routes on untouched limestone cliffs. Lately, Mallorca has emerged as a premier venue for deep water soloing (DWS) wherein you scale a seaside cliff without using rope. If you fall, you fall safely into the water! You can literally feel your adrenalin rush with DWS. In Ibiza, most of the rock climbing areas are in peaceful, majestic, and isolated sea cliffs and coves.
Barcelona is known as one of the finest sport climbing areas in the continent. You can try your skill in conquering the Sierra de Prades, the rock towers of Montserrat, limestone cliffs near Lleida, or mountain granite of the Cavallers.
If you are more into bouldering (climbing huge boulders instead of cliffs), head out to Albarracin where you can scramble up big ancient sandstone blocks within a cool forest.
