Holidays To Spain – Rock Climbing Sites
Rock climbing is an exciting 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 beginner or an experienced climber, you would want to find great limestone or granite cliffs to conquer. You would want to climb in perfect weather that is neither too hot nor too cold. You can find the perfect conditions to rock climb in many locations in Spain. Rock climbers spend their holidays to Spain because of the nation’s perfect climbing conditions. In fact, Spain is rapidly becoming Europe’s main rock climbing venue. A large number of the most popular and established crags are in close proximity main tourist areas and coastal cities. What’s more, 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 amazing limestone crags. There are all-natural cliffs for traditional climbing, bolted crags for sport climbing, and multi-pitch routes for overnight climbs. A majority 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 later 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 widely known rock climbing venues featuring single to double-pitch routes on untouched limestone rocks. Lately, Mallorca has emerged as a leading venue for deep water soloing (DWS) wherein you scale a seaside cliff without any rope. If you fall, you fall safely into the sea! You can actually feel your adrenalin rush with DWS. In Ibiza, many of the rock climbing venues are in peaceful, magnificent, and isolated sea cliffs and coves.
Barcelona is recognized as one of the best sport climbing venues in Europe. You can try your skill in scaling 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 large boulders instead of cliffs), go to Albarracin where you can scramble up enormous ancient sandstone blocks within a shady forest.
