The Costa Blanca’s a great place to climb. Anna and I along with Ken and Hannah have been there climbing a few times. Great in the autumn as you can still be climbing in shorts in November. There’s a huge number of crags there and I haven’t even scratched the surface of the routes in the area.

As you can see from the cover it’s slightly strange with some great crags right out of the back of Benidorm and Calpe. However leave the coast 10 minutes behind and the true Spain is really close by.

Rockfax are generally considered to have the best climbing guidebook of the area (even by the Spanish) so it’s good that a new version of the guide is soon to be published with new crags and routes included – a good investment for anyone going to the area to climb.

You can pre-order the guide directly from Rockfax.
