In the Basque Country there is a long tradition in all mountainering sports, and rock-climbing is one of the most attractive of them. If you are crazy for the crags, we can inform you in Camping Itxaspe about the basque rock-climbing areas. You can climb in small but very nice climbing areas close to the campsite: "Joxemite"  in Zumaia (12kms away, sandstone) or "Kantera" in Azpeitia (12kms away, limestone). A little bit longer, about half an hour drive, you can go for climbing to 2 huge areas: Santa Barbara (100 routes, limestone) and Araotz (290 routes) with routes from IV to 9a... If you like something more than bolted routes...the options are Atxarte  in Durango with a lot of multi-pitch routes for trad-climbing, or Mount Txindoki with a very easy but enjoyable multi pitch arista or edge and about 20 multi-pitch routes.
