It is easy to get to with plenty of cheap flights and accommodation, it has great weather in winter, fantastic scenery with a stunning rural countryside, and a great coastline, but above all it is the ultimate playground for climbers. Spain has so much rock you’ll need a few lifetimes to see it all - no matter where you choose to go, the experience will be unforgettable!

Its rugged landscape is packed with top quality climbing areas. The climbing is extremely diverse and you’ll be hard pressed to find a climbing style that isn’t represented here - granite slabs, long multi pitches, tufa-and-stalactite fests, trad climbs, long cracks, huge roofs, fingery vertical walls… we could go on and on! The crags are beautifully situated and the ambience is always super relaxed. A trip to Spain in winter is ideal for those who long to get away from the inhospitable winters of Northern Europe, which hinders climbing activity so much. But also there are venues that are suitable in summer. Whatever your choice, flights are cheap year round and the accommodation options are endless and, outside the high tourist season, very reasonably priced. Many areas even have a typically relaxed climbers campsite with bungalows, which really adds to the holiday feeling. Yes, Spain is definitely one of those countries that make you want to come back to over and over again. The Rock Climbing Atlas describes the best of these!
