1. Zona de Escalada de la Foixarda (Montjuic)
This is Barcelona’s most popular outdoor climbing spot and it is probably also the best one. Great for both rope climbing and bouldering.
2. Climbing Zone “El Campillo” – Les Roquetes (Nou Barris)
A great place to try out rope climbing.
3. Boulder de La Via Favencia – Parc de la Guineueta (Nou Barris)
A long inclined bouldering wall. The traverse is perfect to improve your endurance.
4. Urban Climbing Zone Plaça Botticelli (Horta)
Plaça Botticelli is a good place for rope climbing. On top of every route you can read its name and grade. Grades range from 4 to 6c.
5. Boulder Parc Güell (Gracia)
Most people don’t know that you can climb the wall surrounding Parc Güell. There are two walls on the backside of the park (see map) with tricky boulder problems.
My name is Carmen and I love to travel and explore new places. I love animals and that is why I don’t eat them. I defend the idea that animals are entitled to the possession of their own lives and that their most basic interests should be afforded the same consideration as similar interests of human beings!
