Alquézar School

The Vero River canyon in Alquézar offers a variety of walls with excellent limestone rock. In the vicinity of the town, you will find sport climbing routes that reach up to 40 meters in length, with considerable levels of difficulty.

In recent years, new high-quality sectors have been developed, such as San Pelegrín, where climbing is restricted from April to July due to nesting birds. In addition, in the imposing walls of the canyon, there are classic climbing routes, such as Tozal del Vero and Tozal de las Macetas.

The Alquézar school is especially popular in winter thanks to the south orientation of many of its routes and the favorable climate, sheltered from the wind and fog of the Ebro valley.
