Just outside of the little coastal town of Tossa de Mar in Costa Brava, about 1½ hours north of Barcelona, some pretty fun Deep Water Solo/Psicobloc can be found. The rock is pretty grainy granite but with the closeness to water some of the holds are a little smother making it not too hard on your skin. There are only about 5 routes and they are not more than 10 meters high but for a day of fun it is for sure worth the effort to go there! My favourite is the excellent route La del Pako, 6b. Long and fun!

Pere has made a nice video showing more or less what you can expect from a day in Tossa. He has also prepared a topo and a description on how to find the climbing once you have reached the parking. Here you can download the topo.

So break away from your family vacation and get some adrenaline going!
