All the rock climbing in this area to the south of Valencia is on limestone rock that is found in a wide variety of forms and colours. The climbing style is as diverse as the rock itself, ranging from face climbing on technical slabs, to powerful overhangs and roofs, and even some bouldering.
The largest crags are found at around the towns of Bellus (Aventador, L' Altet, Cova de la Petxina, and Barranc Fondo), Montesa (La Mola) and Gandia.
There are a number of selective guidebooks that only describe selected routes and cover a much broader geographical area than shown on the above map. These are:
The Rockfax Costa Blanca Guidebook covers the climbing at Gandia and around the towns of Bellus and Montesa.
The Roca Espana Costa Blanca North Guidebook covers Gandia, El Bovedon, Aventador and the crags around Bellus.
