Caimari – the best of the new developments in Mallorca?
Having left our villa in Soller we’re ensconced in a quirky hotel in the centre of the island – santori de Cura is a converted monestary at the top of […]

Valdemossa – the perfect airport day crag
A week has flown by and it’s time for the kids to head back home, so it’s Dad’s Cabs for the next couple of days. Jake and Leah are off […]
Alaro – A return match with Buf!
The towering cliffs behind the village of Alaro host some fabulous routes including a candidate for perhaps the best selection of tufas to be found anywhere. Another hour’s drive and […]
Calla Magraner
This was a trip down memory lane, as Helen and I were last here with a 8 and a 5 year old… Tash led here first route and Jake spent […]
Sa Gubia
This has to be Mallorca’s premier crag for the breadth of climbing available, from huge moderate multi pitch routes to steep test pieces, all in a fabulous setting – good […]
Port de Soller – Adventures in Blob land
Easter Sunday arrived and the Easter Bunny had managed to find his way to our villa 🙂 Before chocolate saturation could set in we headed for Port de Soller, a […]
Etxauri recce and San Fausto saves the day
Etxauri IS the premier crag in Navarra, and we’d saved it for a fitting finale as our last day’s cragging on this trip. Imagine our disappointment as we woke to […]
Penartea – heading into Navarra
There’s a lot of rock in Navarra, just like the rest of Spain, and a fair bit of climbing concentrated around Pamplona. We’ve been keeping an eye on the weather […]
Morata de Jalon – Las Torcas
Our trip has come almost full circle. We stopped off at Morata de Jalon for a few routes on our first day off the ferry on the way down. This […]
Jaraba
Jaraba-Daba-Do! …as Fred Flintstone would say. This crag was recommended to us by a couple from Zaragoza who we met at the Moraira sea cliffs, and gets 5 crabs in […]
Torralba – a rest day recce
Using a damp forecast for a much needed rest day, we headed north into Aragon and Zaragoza province, with a slight detour to check out Torralba. Trusting to GPS we […]
Araya – what a find!
We stumbled upon this fabulous crag thanks to a posting on the UKC logbook, and the incredibly useful Elev-arte.com website, and what a gem! Hidden away up a 2km dirt […]
Back to the Dragon’s LabyrinthÂ
With a warm day in prospect, the combination of early sun then shade on El Labarinto de los Dragones looked like a good bet, and Chris and Justin were keen […]
Montanejos – Laberinto de Los DragonesÂ
We spotted this awesome piece of rock just across the gorge when we were climbing at Mazmorras. Checking our guide there looked to be half a dozen routes at the […]
Jerica – Sector Huajolotes
We’ve caught up with Justin and Chris again (or rather they’ve caught us up having nipped home for a couple of weeks) and we decided to embrace the sunshine on […]
Montanejos – Caverna Magica and Mazmorras
With a lovely sunny day in prospect we decided to check out some of the climbing on the road out of Montanejos towards Montan. Caverna Magical is in a very pretty […]
JericaÂ
We woke to the sound of rain on the van roof on Friday – nature’s way of telling you to take a rest day. It was time for a change […]
Bovedos – or more like Bovedoesn’t
Further along the hillside from Bovedon lives it’s little brother Bovedos. Just a couple of dozen routes, but a very impressive chunk of upside-down land. We met up with Keefe […]
Vallada
This one has been on our radar for a couple of years, but a bit of a trek to access from Calpe. Finally managed to visit and it didn’t disappoint, […]
Tallat Roig
We’ve based ourselves by the seaside, a little north of Gandia – not the most inspiring campsite, but easy reach of the Gandia crags as well as Tallat Roig. The […]
