If you are a lover of vertical adventure, the Costa Blanca is your place of pilgrimage. Thanks to its privileged climate and spectacular geography, this region offers world-class rock walls for all levels of climbers.
We have spoken with a great local climbing expert and we have been impressed by the number of rock enthusiasts who even bring their own equipment to enjoy the vertical path. And the Costa Blanca is making its way as a climbing mecca in Spain; the region is known for its limestone rock walls, which provide excellent grip and diversity of textures, making the routes safe and enjoyable.
In addition, climbing with sea views has become a very strong attraction for those who visit us and are looking for the added value of well-connected areas, accessible by car and on foot, recreational areas.
The famous guide "Costa Blanca Climbs" by Roberto López, (connoisseurs look for the First Edition of 2020) is the holy grail for climbers visiting the area, super complete, graphic and with QR codes with access information to have it on the phone. Here we give you a tour of the most iconic, easy and recommended routes depending on the season, and we connect you with local companies to make your climbing day an unforgettable experience.
There are routes for all levels, from beginners to advanced climbers. The diversity of rock formations, such as the famous Peñón de Ifach or Sierra de Toix, offers options for both sport climbing and traditional climbing and long routes for climbers of different styles and abilities.
Peñón de Ifach (Calpe): This impressive rock formation rises 332 meters above sea level. The Diedro UBSA Route (6a) is a classic, with spectacular views of the Mediterranean. Ideal for climbers with some experience, since the height and traverses require good fear management.
Interesting fact: This rock has been the scene of several climbing competitions and events, and is also home to numerous protected bird species, which must be respected especially when they are with babies!
Calpe: Sierra de Toix- Sector Lejano Oeste: Area with 28 routes with difficulty grade III to 6b, with the Uroma route being the easiest to learn to climb.
Tramuntana Aventura: With expert guides throughout the Costa Blanca region, Tramuntana Aventura will make you live an unforgettable day in the mountains, whether with introductory classes or more technical adventures.
As curiosities that we have been able to learn: Whoever opens a new route, baptizes it but at the same time has the duty to maintain it (check it and keep it in total safety)
The one who goes first is the one who releases adrenaline, since he is the one who opens the way and passes the rope.
Among the funniest names in the area we find: “Paella y casalla” “Toma candela” “Que no se entere mi mujer” or “La pastisseria”.
And the expressions you will hear the most: ¡Cuerda! and ¡Tense! To find out why you will have to venture out and find out.
And if you don't have accommodation on the Costa Blanca, you don't have to worry. At Abahana Villas we make it easy for you. Get in touch with us and we will help you find it.

The Costa Blanca is much more than sun and beach. In its most authentic corners lies a natural paradise that invites you to discover it in a calm, respectful and healthy way. If you are one of those who seek something more than just resting on the sand, we propose a much more conscious trip, for those who want to take something more than postcards from a destination. Because, at the end of the day, it is about living experiences that nourish both us and the place we visit.
The Costa Blanca, known for its dream beaches, is also a paradise for golf lovers. With a privileged climate all year round and impressive landscapes that combine mountains, sea and nature, playing golf here becomes a unique experience.
