Rockfax
The Costa Blanca has been long known as one of the
best destinations anywhere in the world for winter sun rock and nowadays
it attracts visitors from all over the world. Climbs in Spain. Spanish
climbing. Mountain climbing in Spain. Rock climbing in Spain. Although the area is most
popular as a ‘sun and chips’ venue, the summer’s here are HOT, crowded and
expensive and only mad dogs and Englishmen would try to climb in the peak
holiday season. At other times of the year though the area has the almost
ideal combination of a mild climate, well established infrastructure,
cheap flights from most of Europe and of course masses of high quality
limestone - the real white gold. The thrill of stepping on a plane on a
grey English morning and emerging two and a half hours later in bright
Spanish sunshine still takes some beating. More and more climbers make the
regular exodus and head south for a mid-winter tonic.
