Costa Blanca Offers Climbing, Walking and Kayaking Tours
Costa Blanca, the white coast, is a fantastic tourist attraction created by the BEA, British European Airways, in order to promote their new flight to the area from London. Costa Blanca is 200 meters, or more than 125 miles, of sandy beaches along the southeastern coast of Spain. The now famous strip of sand spans from Torrevieja to Denia and is home to millions of tourists annually. In addition to the beauty of the beaches and the opportunity for adventures such as sea kayaking, the area is home to beautiful mountains that offer walking or climbing tours.
Climbing on a Costa Blanca holiday is a very popular activity. The weather allows year round accessibility to the limestone mountains and the climbers take advantage of more than 2500 climbing routes here. Winter is an especially good time to travel to this area, because the flights and boarding costs associated with the trip will be considerably less than in the summer.
Climbing tours in the mountains of the Costa Blanca area are quite intensive. An average day can be up to eight hours of climbing instruction and actual climbing. If you enjoy this activity and your skill level increases, you will be able to take advantage of more and more difficult climbs along the mountains. Many of the tour companies will make your climbing tour completely inclusive, so even a first time climber will have all of the latest gear to climb with, and the greatest instruction possible to use it, along with meals, lodging and lasting around five or six days.
