Here is a collection of climbing and bouldering places in Barcelona for all skill levels.
1. Climbing Zone “El Campillo” – Les Roquetes (Nou Barris)
This a great place for both rope climbing and bouldering. It’s great for beginners. The grades of the main wall range from 4 – 5. The routes on the backside of the building are for more experienced climbers.
2. Climbing zone Parque arómatico Rodrigo Caro (Roquetes – Nou Barris)
It’s a quiet park with a long boulder wall. There are a few rope routes but they cannot be used anymore. The boulder is really good though!
3. Boulder de La Via Favencia – Parc de la Guineueta (Nou Barris)
This place has vertical walls and a long inclined bouldering wall. It’s the perfect place to improve your bouldering skills.
4. Bouder Plaza Karl Marx (Canyelles)
The wall at Plaza Karl Marx is similar to the ones at the backside of Park Güell but with no boulder problems.
5. Boulder Casal de Joves Guineueta (Nou Barris)
In front of the Youth Center you can find a few bouldering walls. The walls are not very well maintained though. The paint is peeling off and a number of climbing holds are missing.
6. Zona Boulder “La Casa Nostra” – Turó de la Peira (Nou Barris)
La casa nostra is a great place to practice bouldering. People at the cultural center ‘Casal de barri La Cosa Nostra’ are supernice and if you give them your ID card on deposit, you can borrow climbing shoes and a mat.
7. Outdoor climbing zone la palestra (Nou Barris)
Unfortunatly, the climbing walls you can see from the street (Av. Meridiana/carrer Roselló i Porcel) are not accessible anymore. The walls are not being maintained and it’s unlikely that they will be fixed in the near future.
8. Indoor Boulder Casal Joves Girapells (Guinardó)
They have a small but really nice boulder room (perfect for the winter). They have a sound system you can use to play your own music while bouldering 🙂
Pricing: 6eur/month = max. 3 visits per week, 10eur/month = unlimited access, first day free
9. Climbing Wall Centre Esportiu Municipal Guinardó
There is a boulder wall with big holds and lots of boulder problems in the interior patio of the Centre Esportiu just in front of the soccer field.
10. Climbing zone BocaBloc (El Carmel)
They have a small but fun indoor boulder room. Max. 6-7 people are allowed at a time.
Pricing: 1,5eur = single day, 6eur/month = max. 3 visits per week, 12eur/month = unlimited access
11. Climbing zone Joves Les Corts (Les Corts)

12. Boulder c/ Pons i Serra (Sarrià)
…haven’t checked it out yet.
13. 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 and which are superfun to climb.

14.Climbing Parque de la Creueta del Col
There are 2 climbing routes on the left side of the entrance of the Park de la Creueta del Col right beside the street. The installation seems to be a little old but looks safe. The grades of the routes may be around 5ish. The bottom hold of the first route is missing, so the beginning is a little tricky.
15. Boulder Esportiu Municipal Montbau
On the backside of the building between the Centre Esportiu and the parking lot is a climbing wall with two routes for rope climbing. The wall is for beginners (grade 4). Except for one hold that is moving, it seems very well maintained.
16. Boulder Jardin Montbau
… doesn’t exist anymore.
17. Urban Climbing Zone Plaça Botticelli (Horta)
Plaça Botticelli is a great place for rope climbing. There are a number of routes. On top of every route you can read its name and grade.
18. Boulder Av. Meridiana (Navas)
The church and community center San Juan Bosco has a boulder in the interior patio.
I wasn’t able to try it out. Opening hours are from Mo-Fr from 5pm to 9pm.
19. Climbing Zone Iglesia Sant Andreu de Palomar (San Andreu)
Some time ago the walls of the church were used for rope climbing. This is not possible anymore but the backside of the church is still good for bouldering.
20. Boulder Ateneo libertario LIBRE PENSAMIENTO “la biblio” (Trinitat Vella)
…haven’t checked it out yet.
21. Climbing Zone Acueducto Ciudad Meridiana
…haven’t checked it out yet.
22. Zona de Escalada de la Foixarda (Montjuic)
This is Barcelonas most popular outdoor climbing spot and it is probably also the best one. It’s great for both rope climbing and bouldering.
23. Boulder Casa Groga (Marina)
There is a boulder wall in the interior patio of the youth center. I wasn’t able to check it out as they only open from Mo-Fr in the evenings. The wall can be seen from the street though and it seems quite a number of holds are missing.
24. Rocodromo Estruch (El Prat de Llobregat)
Great outdoor climbing area. It is free of charge but you have to be federated to get access or bring someone who is.
25. Rocodrom Parc de Mercader (Cornella de Llobregat)
I haven’t checked it out personally because you have to be a member to get in but I was told the place is really good. Membership is 60eur per year and you need to sign up in January because they only give out a limited number of memberships.
