Description

Alicante is very well known for its beaches. But this province located in Spain is also one of the most mountainous of the country, with a total of 45 peaks over 1,000 meters. In this 3-day trip we will explore the area combining scrambling and hiking with the beauty of the Mediterranean Sea.

In the region of Alicante the mountains meet the Sea. The relief, steep and mountainous, is perfect for adventure. We will ascend by sharp rocky crests in a magnificent environment, always with stunning views of the Mediterranean.

First of all, we will visit Cresta de Bernia, located 63 km from the center of Alicante. To reach its summit we will use climbing equipment. You will be rewarded with fantastic views, and if you are lucky you will see a fox, a wild boar or a mountain goats.

We will also visit Cresta de las Jotas, a great route with imposing edges and an extraordinary environment. From the top we will see the summit of Cabezón de Oro (1210 m.) and its tree covered slopes.

Finally, we will also go to Cresta de las Cuevas, where we will need different climbing techniques. Up here the panoramic views of the Mediterranean and its beaches are amazing.

In addition, the region of Alicante is characterized by its excellent wines and local gastronomy. So your vacation will have everything you need: adventure and pleasure.

About the guide

Daniel

Rock Guide

Hi! My name is Dani, I'm an AEGM rock climbing guide from Spain, the second country with more mountains in Europe.

After 20 years practicing alpinism and climbing in mountain ranges around the world, I established in central Spain. I work as a guide in one of the most wild and spectacular rocky spots: Pedriza and Sierra de Gredos. These were the mountains that made me become the climber that I'm today.

Recently someone asked me what do I like the most about my job. I struggled to find an answer, but I think that when you do an activity with professionalism, safety, and managing the risks, the rest is assured! Laughs, emotions and great moments: Mountains and climbing at it most.

What people are saying about Explore-Share

Man

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Maxine

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
