Climbing in Malanyeu, 1 hour north of Barcelona. Amazing rock quality! Click to see the photo in a bigger size.

These last weeks have been pretty crazy. I’m in the middle of getting my company and my travel agency (which Climb in Spain is a part of) up and going. So instead of climbing I’ve been signing papers, traveling all over the city to get other papers stamped and meeting with accountants and banks. Oh, and together with my companion we have been visiting wine yards, nice houses to rent, meeting with hotels etcetera. I even, in the name of work, had to go and see FC Barcelona play Sevilla. Besides all this the weather has been bad so I hope the hours put into work now pays off on time on rock in the future.

For Climb in Spain we’re happy to see that the traffic is increasing and that we get more and more requests for our apartments and houses. As soon as the weather gets better we hope to travel to Rodellar, Terradets, Lleida and Allbaracín to look for nice places for climbers to stay. I would like to say that we are about to open our on-line store but we simply have to push it a little to the future. Well, I will take care of it as soon as possible, I promise you. If you’re looking for a specific guidebook, send me an e-mail and I’ll get back to you.

Luckily for us other people are busy blogging about climbing now when we are busy with everything else. Julia pointed me to 50 years of Space Exploration, a new blog in English for a guy living here in Barcelona. Not all the posts are about climbing but they are well worth reading anyway. Don’t miss Montserrat – a brief history.

Do you know anyone blogging in English about climbing in Spain (or the Iberian peninsula)? Please share!
