Zurita – Here’s one you definitely haven’t been to!
After waking up to a glorious morning in Santa Ana, with the crag drying nicely after the monsoon, we had a change of plan… We’d been exploring options for accommodation […]

Las Devotas – Val de Cinca
After a well earned rest day, we needed a venue for a final day of heat-wave before a forecasted break in the weather. Having been scorched off the crag for […]
Olvena – groundhog day
It is a testament to the amount of tremendous rock in northern Spain that after almost 6 weeks and almost 30 crags, this is the first place we’ve revisited from […]
Foradada de Toscar
This crag went a long way to making up for the disappointment of Bielsa – another great find, situated right next to the road, and with a great range of […]
Bielsa – sector camping (more like sector disappointment)
Having been toasted yesterday, we decided to head up the valley to gain altitude and a bit of coolth. The “sector camping” at Bielsa, about 15km south of the French […]
Into the Aragonian Pyrenees
With the stunning weather set to continue for at least another week, we decided to get some altitude to hopefully enjoy cooler temperatures. We’ve set up camp near Ainsa on […]
Anguilano
The other crag recommended in La Rioja is Anguilano. Like Clavio, this dominates the eponymous village, but rather than a conglomerate muffin it offers a huge swathe of clean-cut slab […]
Into Rioja – Climbing at Clavio
Heading east, we drop over the tail end of the Cantabrian range and stop briefly in the southern Basque country, or Pais Vasques. Everything changes, from landscape to architecture, and […]
Berodia
…well, we did make it back through the tunnel – though a slight asymmetry in the van roof meant we had to let the tyres down for an extra inch […]
A month of Roca Verde
After a month in the crags around the Cantabrian mountains, we’re finally moving out of the range of the Roca Verde guide. We’ve visited almost 20 new crags, and still […]
Fuentes de Penacorada and back over the Picos
For our last day in Leon we checked out this beautiful gem of a crag, climbing on limestone fins next to a babbling stream and only 2 minutes from the […]
Into Leon and two trips to Valdehuesa
Heading back east from our brief tour of Galicia, via the Sierra de la Culebra which has the highest wolf population in Europe, we have arrived in Leon. The guidebook […]
Valverdin-Pedrosa
Another gorgeous day, and another gorgeous crag. Tucked away in a secluded valley running parallel to the main CL626, this kilometre-long crag has a couple of hundred routes that barely […]
Galicia
Galicia is the Spanish answer to Britttany and Cornwall – a granite bit that sticks out bravely into the full force of the Atlantic, with a proud Celtic history and […]
