Roca Verde – Sport Climbing in North West Spain

Introduction

This is a comprehensive guidebook describing the sport climbing found around the Cordillera Cantabrica mountain range in north-west Spain. The climbing is situated between the cities of Gijon on the north coast and Leon. This rugged, compact and incredibly green part of Spain is one of Europe’s best-kept secret climbing areas. Included for the first time is an overview of some of the bouldering areas in this region.

The guidebook covers 80 selected crags in Asturias, Cantabria and Leon – some of the larger crags covered are Teverga and Quiros in the Valles del Trubia; Pelugano in the Valles de Nalon y Aller; plus Valdehuesa and Valverdin-Pedrosa near Leon. In total nearly 4,500+ routes are detailed across a wide range of grades.

At the start of each crag there is information regarding the type and style of climbing found plus the best time of the year to climb there. Also included is a location map and detailed approach information. All the routes are shown on colour photo topos along with their height.

This newly updated 3rd edition (3A) was published in the latter half of 2022 and has Spanish and English text throughout.
