Spain
The Roca dels Arcs is a broad south-facing limestone wall above the village of Vilanova de Meià in the Lleida pre-Pyrenees, with the Roca Alta alongside. The climbing is steep and athletic on horizontal strata, roofs and bulges with good holds, on routes of 150 to 250 m that mix fully bolted lines with older semi-equipped classics. Parking is on the road north of the village below the wall, and a path runs along the whole base. The wall is in the sun all day: best from autumn to spring and hot in summer.

Four long, steep pitches on the left side of the Roca dels Arcs, sustained at 6a on good holds and not yet polished above the first pitch. The third pitch is the event: a reachy bulge to start, 30 m of gently overhanging strata, and a hard boulder move off a ledge to finish that most people grade 6c. That last move can be avoided by belaying on the neighbouring route.
