Enjoy a pre-Easter climb in Costa Blanca with a great range of climbing grades and many starred routes, including ridge scrambling routes. There are flights from Bournemouth with Ryanair for around £200, this includes 20kg bag allowance. We will stay in Calpe, which has great access to 3 fantastic climbing areas, Sella, Aleta and Sierra de Toix. In order to book accommodation I will need to know who is keen to go, and may need a deposit.
