Description Suggest change

Catalonia is one of the best places to climb in Spain. Plenty of sport crags known worldwide and lots of trad/adventure climbing areas.

You can find different types of rock, but the most usual is limestone, with some really particular and nice conglomerate areas like the mystical Montserrat.

Getting There Suggest change

You'll need a car to get to most of the climbing areas
