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, [...]

First spring day: throwback to a climbing winter

This is my personal photographic homage to the past winter. Hope to have an [...]

Totxo de Ponent

Totxo de Ponent is a small sector on the south face of Montserrat. With only 12 routes that are fairly short, 10-20 meters of actual climbing, it might seem like a not so interesting sector to choose for a day of climbing (especially compared to everything else on the south face of Montserrat).

La Pauta

It's well known that Catalunya, the Basque Country, Arragón, Valencian country, Madrid, Andalucía, Galicia and all the other regions of Spain have lots of rock, lots of crags. Some are 5 star, some others are very small in comparison to El Chorro, Margalef, Siurana or Rodellar. But there are some others -less international- that are [...]
