Spain
The Cabeçó d'Or (Cabezón de Oro) is a 1,209 m limestone mountain inland from El Campello, north of Alicante, with walls of 200 to 300 m above the show caves of Canelobre. The climbing is technical wall climbing on edges, flakes and water pockets. Most routes are traditional, and only a few of the modern lines are fully bolted. Busot is the nearest village; you park on the track just below the caves. The main walls stay in the shade until early afternoon, which makes them usable on warm days from autumn to spring.

Five very long pitches of old-school wall climbing: edges, flakes and water pockets where footwork counts more than strength. The 40 m fourth pitch, a steep slab beside a corner, is the highlight and the crux. Remote feeling, in the shade until early afternoon.
