Climbing on the Sierra Espuna.
Perhaps the best kept secret in Spain, Sierra Espuņa is a quiet valley with thousands of sport and trad climbs at all levels,
crag and multi-pitch, and everything from caves and overhangs to slabs. Sport climbs are intelligently bolted and routes are
well thought out. Most of the climbing is limestone, though there is an aggregate crag to be found behind the Archeological
museum in Alhama.
Having a car is highly advisable as most of the climbs already involve a 45 minute to 1 hour approach after driving to
a hiking trail head. It is well worth the hike. The crags are quiet and climbing is possible well into the winter, though
the nights can be windy and cold.
We can only offer accommodation and advise for climbers,
(we have Espuna climbing guide books available to hotel guests) and we always happy to help and point you in the right
direction.
