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.
