Barcelona is known for many things from Gaudi to paella, but that is soon bound to change. The city is a veritable paradise for via ferrata climbing enthusiasts and boasts innumerable routes, some of which are just outside the city and others that are a bit farther away. Whether it is your first time climbing the iron rails or you are a seasoned pro, the perfect route is waiting for you here. For those looking for some introductory level via ferratas, look no further than Cala del Molí in nearby Girona. Offering easy and stunning routes that take climbers up above the Mediterranean Sea, there is no better place to get acquainted with the sport.
