Costa Blanca, Alicante, Sea cliff guided rock climbing

Situated on the southeastern province of Alicante, Spain’s stunning Costa Blanca is the perfect spot for an epic winter sea cliff climbing adventure!

While other rock climbing hotspots in Europe become too cold for climbing, the climate in Calpe is perfect, with ideal temperatures and plenty of sunshine.

Our adventure begins after we meet up in this picturesque town and head out onto the rocks!

Among the top spots for climbing is the stunning Sierra de Toix,  a continuous cliff up to 80 meter (262 feet) high between Calpe and Altea. Sierra de Toix is composed of three main crags that jut out of the Mediterranean Sea: Racó del Corb, Candelabros del Sol and Pirates of the Caribbean.

While the first of these can be approached from below, in order to climb the latter two, we will need to rappel down onto the rocks.

Over the course of our two days together, we will also be able to check out Peñón de Ifach, which is the most prominent feature on Costa Blanca.

This magnificent 332 meter (1,089 feet) limestone outcropping towers over Calpe and provides several adventure lines up to 12 pitches, with devious climbs wandering through caves, overhangs and groove systems.

Also, Morro Falquí is an imposing headland surrounded by the sea in the north of the beaches of Moraira. It is easy to access and offers five-star routes that ensure a good day on the cliff, with routes up to 6 pitches.

Barely separated from the sea, the massive mountain of Puig Campana is famous for its long traditionally protected and adventurous alpine lines up to 14 pitches that call for good route-finding skills. Ponoig is probably the harder option in the list, featuring long sustained routes up to almost 500 meters. As for Mascarat Gorge, it provides some fine, long routes in an impressive gash that slices through the coastal road routes between Benidorm and Calpe. Routes range here from 1 to 8 pitches.

Since we’re spending two days together, we’ll be able to combine the Sierra de Toix sea cliffs with one of these other incredible options. Below is a complete list of our options:
