Me sending a nice 6B A couple of weeks ago we finally dropped by Sant Joan de Vilatorrada, the big bouldering area outside of Manresa and about an hours drive from Barcelona. I've visited a fair amount of bouldering areas around the world and my first impression was more than positive. There are some huge [...]
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 [...]
Nice sandstone bouldering north of Barcelona After a long wait FINALLY we are established on our new web hotel. So much faster, so much better! Right now a friend from California is visiting so I'm planning more climbing than anything else for the next couple of days. Well, I'll call it work and I'll promise [...]
I'm currently in my native Sweden enjoying the amazing 19 hours of darkness that December offers. Being used to the >320 days of sun in northern Spain I decided not to get overly depressed but instead extend the map functionality of the site. I must say that after the last days of work I'm pretty [...]

Last week I spent a couple of days climbing and looking for apartments, hotels and houses in the Siurana & Costa Daurada-area to collaborate with. It was a very nice trip and I have now added four new lodging-options for the eager climber. It is very interesting meeting the owners to these nice places places [...]
We here at Climb in Spain of course would like this web site to become the place to go to look for information about climbing in Spain. But to make it there we need your help to gather as much information as possible about climbing in Spain! We are looking for crags, climbers bars, restaurants, [...]
Spain in general and Catalonia in particular has an immense amount of rock. There is limestone, granite, sandstone, conglomerate and volcanic rock. There is 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.
