Costa Blanca (Rockfax)

One of our oldest guidebooks is the Costa Blanca. We first produced this back in 1996 and in Spring 2026 we will be publishing our 5th new edtion. As is the case with the previous books, this new edition will be a major update.
All the old favourite crags have been updated and rephotographed and we have added an amazing 15 new crags to the already extensive repertoire.

The crags have been photographed using the latest technology resulting in some incredible photo-topos and overview shots. There is a new set of maps throughout and detailed text descriptions making locating your chosen route easier than ever. To inspire you is a stunning set of stunning action shots.

The Costa Blanca has long been the best known winter sun venue for travelling climbers from all over Europe. The main attraction is the amazing amount of fantastic climbing on everything from small roadside cliffs to magnificent mountains. The added benefit of easy access quality accommodation and a benign winter climate adds to the overall appeal of the area.

This new guide will be the sixth edition that Rockfax have produced to the ‚White Coast‘, with over 36,000 copies already sold over the years. This completely revised and updated volume will build 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 aerial crag shots and action pictures will ensure the book stays fresh for years to come.
