Holidays To Spain – Rock Climbing Bonanza
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 you marvel at the magnificence of nature.
Whether you are a beginner or an expert climber, you would want to find great limestone or granite crags to climb. You would want to climb in ideal weather that is neither too hot nor too cold. You can find the perfect conditions to rock climb in many areas in Spain. Rock climbers spend their holidays to Spain due to the nation’s ideal climbing conditions. Indeed, Spain is quickly becoming Europe’s premier rock climbing venue. A large number of the most popular and established crags are in close proximity main tourist areas and coastal cities. Additionally, 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 rock faces for sport climbing, and multi-pitch routes for overnight climbs. Many of these routes are very accessible, with just a few minutes walk away from the road.
If you want 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 popular rock climbing venues featuring single to double-pitch routes on untouched limestone cliffs. Recently, Mallorca has emerged as a premier 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, most of the rock climbing areas are in peaceful, magnificent, and isolated sea cliffs and coves.
Barcelona is recognized as one of the best sport climbing areas in the continent. You can test 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 large boulders instead of crags), go to Albarracin where you can scramble up huge ancient sandstone blocks within a shady forest.
