Costa Blanca (Rockfax)

The Costa Blanca has long been the best known Hot Rock winter sun venue for climbers wanting a break from the grim northern winter. The reasons the place became popular in the first place are same reasons that this popularity has endured; easy access, loads of quality accommodation, a benign winter climate and of course an amazing amount of fantastic climbing on everything from roadside boulders to magnificent mountains.

This 2013 guide is the fifth edition that Rockfax have produced to the `White Coast`, with over 22,000 copies already sold over the years. This completely revised and updated volume builds on the success of the earlier ones with increased coverage of the most popular areas and the addition of several new crags. A complete new set of crag shots and action pictures will ensure the book stays fresh for years to come.
