Sella

Sella is one of the main crags in the Costa Blanca region. 

This extensive area offers many different types of climbing. Easy and mid grade sport routes are found at the most popular main crags in the centre of the valley, whilst mid to harder grade routes are concentrated in steeper sectors like the famous Wild Side. There are also mostly bolted multi-pitch climbs in Pared de Rosaria as well as entirely traditional routes in Puig Campana. All of this on great quality limestone!

Most of Sella’s  routes are up to 30 m of slabby or vertical,  fingery and technical climbing on little crimps and holes. 

The Costa Blanca's sunny weather makes it a brilliant climbing destination throughout the year. However, the best time to visit is from September until April. The most popular sectors in Sella have a Southerly orientation which makes them a perfect destination on sunny Winter days. Although the steep Sector Wild Side hardly ever gets the sun, summertime will generally be too hot unless you head for the North-facing crags like Pared de Rosaria.

Sella is also very convenient in terms of accommodation, transport and cost. It is only about a one hour drive from Alicante airport. The nearest big city is Benidorm which is only 40 minutes away by car. It is easy to reach the Sella and once there you feel far away from the crowded Benidorm beaches. The Costa Blanca has a wide choice of all types of accommodation according to your taste and budget, ranging from package deals in Benidorm hotels to apartments and villas in Sella, Finestrat and Villa Joyosa. As there is a lot of climbing outside the main valley it is definitely worth hiring a car to make the most of your holiday. Don't forget that in the Costa Blanca there is always an option of spending your rest days on the beach!
