Spain: Costa Blanca 2026 (Rockfax)

Since the 1990s, Rockfax has been synonymous with sport climbing in Spain’s Costa Blanca, helping establish the region as one of Europe’s premier winter sun destinations. This fully revised 6th edition (2026) continues that legacy, offering the most comprehensive and up-to-date coverage yet.

With 576 pages of detailed information, this latest edition features 15 new crags, alongside thoroughly updated and rephotographed classics. Whether you're returning to old favourites or exploring new venues, this guide delivers unmatched depth and clarity.

The Costa Blanca remains a magnet for climbers thanks to its exceptional variety - ranging from roadside single-pitch sport routes to dramatic multi-pitch mountain adventures. Combined with reliable winter sunshine, easy access, and excellent local infrastructure, it’s easy to see why climbers return year after year.
