Luckily, these vibes are still there! By traveling to Spain for rock climbing, you’ll have the opportunity to connect with fellow climbers, share experiences, and benefit from the collective knowledge and support of the climbing community.

Let’s not forget about the most critical factor, though… Favorable weather conditions! That’s something you can’t predict, and since you have few options but to plan your holiday… unstable weather might be a problem! Forget this if you’re heading to Spain, mainly Catalonia, Andalusia, and Aragon. With a Mediterranean climate, mild winters, and long climbing seasons, Spain provides ample opportunities for outdoor climbing throughout the year. Climbers can enjoy longer days and pleasant temperatures, which enhance the overall climbing experience.

These factors combine to make Spain the best destination for rock climbers worldwide. With its variety of climbing areas, favorable weather conditions, extensive route options, welcoming climbing community, and captivating landscapes, Spain promises an unforgettable rock-climbing experience. 

There’s only one thing missing: to decide where to go climbing! Let’s not forget that Spain is the fourth largest country in Europe, including the Balearic Islands in the Mediterranean Sea, the Canary Islands off the northwest coast of Africa, and several smaller islands and territories. That’s why we wanted to scout, select and list 5 of Spain’s best rock-climbing areas to provide general information about the destination itself, some information about the best sport-climbing and DWS crags, logistics, and options for guided rock climbing.

1. Mallorca, Balearic Islands

Planning a trip to Mallorca, the stunning Mediterranean island in Spain, is an exciting endeavor. To ensure a smooth and memorable climbing experience, being well-prepared is essential. Whether captivated by the island's breathtaking Deep Water Soloing cliffs or sport-climbing crags, here are some essential tips before embarking on your Mallorca adventure.

Best Time to Visit

Mallorca experiences a peak tourist season during the summer, so consider visiting during the quieter shoulder seasons of spring (April to May) or autumn (September to October). This will allow you to enjoy pleasant weather, fewer crowds, and more affordable accommodations.

Recommendations

When planning a climbing adventure in Mallorca, it's essential to pack the right gear to ensure your safety and maximize your experience on the island's breathtaking cliffs. We’ll take for granted you always pack your essentials like sunscreen, a hat, appropriate clothing, and plenty of water to stay hydrated while climbing in Mallorca's sunny and warm climate ;). 

Depending on the climbing activity you want to practice, there are a few pieces of gear you don’t want to forget at home, such as:

• Two pairs of climbing Shoes… you don’t want to use your brand-new shoes for some DWS routes! If you’re not explicitly planning a DWS trip, pack a cheap pair of shoes that still provide a snug fit. Hopefully, you won’t fall in the water, and you will save them!
• Harness and Climbing Helmet: A climbing harness is necessary for safety and support during your climbs. Mallorca also boasts an extensive selection of sport-climbing crags you shouldn’t miss. Also, bring a helmet that fits comfortably: it may seem unnecessary. It’s not, especially if you’re climbing on limestone, which is way looser than other rocks, such as Granite. Choose a lightweight and well-ventilated helmet for comfort!
• Climbing Rope and Quickdraws: Could you bring a suitable climbing rope of adequate length and diameter depending on the climbing routes you plan to tackle? Mallorca offers a mix of single-pitch and multi-pitch routes, so choose a rope that suits your climbing objectives. If you travel by plane and want to save money, rent climbing equipment, such as Local shops  Mond’Aventura, Foracorda, and Decathlon.
• Chalk Bag and Chalk: Mallorca's limestone can be pretty slick, so chalk will help maintain your hold on the rock. Consider bringing some liquid chalk for your DWS adventures and a fast-dry, DWS-compatible chalk bag - the folks from Scaua Climbing are based in Mallorca and design, produce, and distribute their hand-made products worldwide. They’re so good. We got some branded chalk bags from them!

With its rugged cliffs, limestone formations, and breathtaking landscapes, Mallorca boasts some of the best climbing spots in the world. Here are a few must-visit destinations for climbing enthusiasts:

• Sa Gubia: In the Tramuntana mountain range, Sa Gubia is a premier climbing area in Mallorca and the enormous crag in Mallorca regarding routes and heights. It offers various routes suitable for climbers, from beginners to advanced. 
• Fraguel: Situated in the heart of Mallorca, Fraguel is a trendy climbing spot known for its impressive limestone cliffs and exceptional tufas. The area offers a range of difficulties, making it suitable for climbers with varying skill levels. The picturesque surroundings and tranquil atmosphere add to the allure of Fraguel. The crag might be crowded during the weekends and the climbing tourism peak season.
• Valldemossa: Nestled in the charming village of Valldemossa, this climbing area has fewer routes than Sa Guiba and Fraguel, but it still offers a unique experience. Valldemossa's vertical walls and picturesque setting attract climbers looking for adventure and tranquility. The routes here are predominantly traditional climbing, providing a traditional and immersive climbing experience.
• Cala Magraner: If you're seeking seaside climbing, Cala Magraner is a must-visit spot. Located on the eastern coast of Mallorca, this beautiful crag features limestone cliffs that overlook the turquoise waters of the Mediterranean Sea. The routes here range from moderate to challenging, offering a thrilling climbing experience with stunning coastal views. Get ready for some polished holds since this is probably the most popular crag on the entire island!
• Cala Barques: Situated in the picturesque town of Cala Santanyí, Cala Barques offers an incredible deep-water soloing experience. This scenic cove is known for its vertical limestone cliffs that rise dramatically from the crystal-clear turquoise waters.

The stunning backdrop of Cala Barques, with its tranquil surroundings and breathtaking views, creates an unforgettable deep-water soloing experience.
• Porto Cristo: Located on the eastern coast of Mallorca, Porto Cristo is another premier destination for deep water soloing - you’ve probably heard about it with the name of “Cova del Diablo.” The cliffs here offer a mix of challenging routes and thrilling jumps into the sea. Porto Cristo boasts impressive limestone formations that provide abundant opportunities for climbers to test their skills and push their limits. The deep blue waters of the Mediterranean provide a refreshing and inviting landing area, making it an ideal spot for those seeking an adrenaline rush. Porto Cristo offers easy access to amenities, including restaurants and shops, allowing climbers to relax and refuel after their climbs.

On-site logistics

Exploring the stunning island of Mallorca is made convenient and accessible through its efficient public transportation system. That said, if you’re explicitly traveling for climbing, the best option is renting a car and being autonomous: most crags are challenging to reach only by public transportation.  If you don’t have this option, you’re traveling alone, or climbing is just a random activity you want to experience while exploring the island, here are the best ways to get around Mallorca:

• Buses: Mallorca's bus network is extensive and well-developed, connecting major towns and attractions across the island. The Empresa Municipal de Transports (EMT) operates the bus services in Palma, while the Consorcio de Transportes de Mallorca manages intercity and rural routes. Buses are reliable, comfortable, and equipped with air conditioning. You can purchase tickets directly from the bus driver or through ticket machines at major stations.
• Train: The Train de l'Ille operates the railway system in Mallorca, primarily connecting the capital city of Palma with other towns. The vintage-style wooden trains provide a fascinating and scenic journey, especially along the picturesque route to Sóller. Trains are known for their punctuality and offer a relaxed way to explore the island's interior.
• Metro: Palma Metro is a modern and efficient metro system that serves the city of Palma. It has two lines, M1 and M2, covering central neighborhoods and tourist areas. The metro is an excellent option for traveling within Palma, allowing quick access to popular sites like the Cathedral, Plaza de España, and the Port.

Buses and trains in Mallorca generally operate on a fixed schedule, and departure times are usually available at the stations or online. During the peak tourist season, services tend to be more frequent, ensuring more accessible access to various destinations. You should check the schedules and plan your trips to maximize your time on the island. Mallorca has implemented an integrated ticketing system called the Tarjeta Intermodal. This smart card allows seamless transfers between different modes of public transportation, including buses, trains, and the metro. With the Tarjeta Intermodal, you can enjoy discounted fares and the convenience of using a single ticket for multiple journeys. Consider purchasing the "Mallorca Pass" or the "Palma Pass" if you plan to explore multiple attractions and use public transportation frequently. These passes offer unlimited travel on buses, trains, and the metro and discounted entry to popular tourist sites and attractions.

If you plan to enjoy the island for some sport-climbing or chill DWS, you don't need much more than a car. Suppose you plan a more serious trip to explore Mallorca's finest Deep Water Soloing spots. In that case, we recommend renting a boat or contacting local businesses like Rock & Water Mallorca.

Guided rock climbing in Mallorca

If you're new to rock climbing or prefer the guidance of professionals, Mallorca offers a variety of guided rock climbing experiences. These guided tours ensure your safety and provide valuable instruction and local knowledge to enhance your climbing adventure. 

Several local businesses with Certified Guides are available for Climbing, DWS, and Canyoning. We highly recommend Rock & Water Mallorca, a reputable guiding company specializing in outdoor adventures, with whom we organize our trip to Mallorca Climbing Dream Island, helping hundreds of climbers experience an unforgettable climbing holiday in Mallorca. Rock & Water’s experienced guides are certified and passionate about sharing their knowledge and love for climbing. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced climber, they offer tailored experiences to match your skill level and goals.

2. Catalunya and Costa Daurada

Suppose you're planning a rock climbing trip to Catalonia, considered the best sport-climbing destination worldwide by most climbers. In that case, several important things must be considered to ensure a successful and enjoyable experience. Catalonia, located in northeastern Spain, only 2 hours drive from Barcelona, offers a wealth of climbing opportunities, from the iconic limestone cliffs of Montserrat to the world-class crags of Siurana and Margalef. Here are vital factors to know before planning your rock-climbing trip to Catalonia.

Best Time to Visit

Catalonia's climbing season typically spans autumn to spring, with cooler temperatures and more favorable weather conditions. Summers can be hot, making climbing uncomfortable, so plan your trip accordingly to make the most of your climbing adventure.

Recommendations

Catalonia offers routes for climbers of all skill levels, but it's essential to familiarize yourself with the grading systems and climbing styles used in the region. Catalonia's most common grading system is the French scale (from 5a to 9c), so please make sure you understand the grading conversion if you're accustomed to a different system. Also, Catalonia offers both sport climbing and traditional climbing opportunities, so please be aware of the style of climbing you prefer and choose the best routes.

We suggest you invest in a comprehensive guidebook specific to climbing in Catalonia. Guidebooks provide valuable information about climbing areas, route descriptions, access points, and safety considerations. They are an indispensable resource for planning your climbing trip. Also, you can look for local knowledge through online forums, climbing communities, or connecting with local climbers who can offer insights, tips, and updates about the climbing areas.

Make sure you have the appropriate climbing gear for your trip. This includes harnesses, helmets, ropes, quickdraws, and protective equipment. A special mention for climbing shoes and ropes: depending on the area where you will climb, you may want to wear different types of climbing shoes: opt for a more stiff climbing shoe if you’re climbing on the dead-vertical walls of Siurana like the Scarpa VSR or La Sportiva Testarossa. If you’re heading to Margalef, where the angle of the wall is generally steeper, a softer shoe could be a game-changer. What about the Scarpa Drago or the La Sportiva Solution Comp? 

The rope you will be using will impact your experience: we suggest getting at least a 70 meters-long rope, or even better, an 80 meters-long one. 

Bring adequate chalk supplies, tape, and other personal climbing accessories. Remember that each climbing area around Catalunya will likely have at least one climbing gear shop, where you can find shoes, chalk, knee pads, clothes for rock climbing, and everything in between.

Last but not least, be mindful of the environmental impact of your climbing activities, especially if you’re traveling there during the summer period. It’s been a while since the whole Oliana crag got hit by a massive wildfire. As outdoor lovers, we should do everything we can to pristine the natural environment.

Follow Leave No Trace principles, respect access agreements, and be considerate of local regulations and ethics. Every area guidebook will provide specific information about good habits, regulations, and bans. Help preserve the natural beauty of Catalonia's climbing areas for future generations to enjoy.
