The weather in this part of Spain is almost always sunny, with the Mediterranean Sea glistening on one side and the quintessentially Spanish countryside on the other meaning there is no excuse to be outdoors. This also makes for comfortable and excellent rock climbing conditions, with the massive Penon de Ifach a particular highlight.

The City Itself

Alicante is a truly beautiful city, with its historically significant port, splendid architecture, abundance of green space and fantastic beaches creating a memorable and impressive sight. On top of this there are numerous castles, museums, art galleries and festivals to discover and explore.

The Sea

The world famous and gorgeous Mediterranean Sea is the focal point of Alicante, with epic and awesome views out over it from most rock climbing spots. It is an immensely popular holiday destination for most of the year, with world-class beaches and the marvelous old port providing unbeatable access.

We were rained out, so I can\'t honestly review my experience with Penon de Ifach. It will have to wait until another time. However, weather is beyond Jorge\'s control and he went out of his way to make sure I was informed the entire time on the possibility of needing to cancel well before my trip. In addition, he handled all previous logistics excellently and provided that nature did not intervene I have no doubt this would have been a phenomenal experience. Jorge also made sure that my deposit was refunded with expediency shortly after cancellation. I would recommend using this service to seek adventure in the beauty of Spain, as they clearly use highly trained and professional individuals to make sure that your safety is of main priority.

I just spent 4 days climbing in Costa Blanca with My guide, Ruben Sanchez. I have been climbing for 25+years, and have worked with a lot of guides around the world. Climbing with Ruben was truly one of the best guided experiences I have ever had. He has a rare combination of easy going, encouraging personality mixed with very safe and competent climbing/guiding skills. I told him what I wanted to accomplish during our time together, and he more than met my expectations. I was challenged, but always felt safe, and I had a great time. The bonus was working on my Spanish for 4 days (he was incredibly patient with me!). I would HIGHLY recommend Ruben as a guide to anyone looking to climb in Spain. Thank you so much for making the connection for me!

Fantastic experience with Roberto! He showed us some tips and tricks related to trad climbing and abseiling in addition to safely guiding us up and down the beautiful Naranjo de Bulnes. Highly recommend this trip and Roberto as a guide!
