Context
The Sierra de Espadán, located in the Valencian Community, is a natural park characterized by pine and cork oak forests that cover its mountain slopes. Its rocky formations provide accessible routes for both rock climbing and sport climbing, making it ideal for those new to the sport. The climbing route ascends over natural rock faces reaching up to 3.5 meters in height, set within a landscape where the wind carries the scent of thyme and Mediterranean scrub.

Under expert supervision, you’ll scale textured, solid rock surfaces, experiencing direct contact with the stone. Following this, you’ll complete a controlled 40-meter rappel using certified equipment, enjoying panoramic views of mountains and valleys as the wind whispers through the pines.
">For whom
This activity is suitable for families with children from age 10, school groups, beginners, and individuals with moderate physical fitness seeking an outdoor experience with low physical difficulty but requiring strength, balance, and focus.
