Foradada del Toscar
Foradada del Toscar is a tiny village located between the two regions of Ribagorza and Sobrarbe, in the northern part of the province of Huesca, Aragón.

Les Saleretes: small and peaceful
These days in Catalonia are cold and dry, we barely reach temperatures above 5 degrees, but skies are mostly clear and the wind is just a gentle breeze. This gives us perfect conditions for climbing in sunny south-facing sectors. A good example is Les Saleretes, a small and peaceful spot in the province of Girona, in the Ripoll area, close [...]

It is a high-mountain activity that leads us through a superb landscape during [...]

Pink Floyd – 10 pitch climb in the Pyrenees
