Welcome to Climb in Spain!
Spain in general and Catalonia in particular has an immense amount of rock. There are limestone, granite, sandstone, conglomerate and volcanic rock. There are world-class bouldering, 1000 meter routes, deep water soloing and the best sport climbing in the world. There are 300 days a year of sunshine.
In short:
there is a reason why the best climbers in the world move to Spain or spend a good part of every winter here.
For the vast majority of these areas there exists no or little information in English. All the guidebooks are in Spanish and the climbing web sites and blogs are in Spanish or Catalan. Very little of the information about hotels, camping and houses to rent close to climbing is available in English. To even be able to buy the guidebooks is hard, many times they are only sold at the local climbing shop or through a web site with all the information in Spanish. The areas that have English guidebooks or information get a majority of the tourists, who knows how the Siurana-area would look without the RockFax-guide to climbing in Costa Daurada?
This is all about to change!
