The largest and most complex area at Sa Gubia is the huge bay which dominates the northern side of the gorge. From the base of the ridge of Albahida, the crag sweeps up and rightwards, forming a superb vertical wall of immaculate grey rock. This is home to many excellent multi-pitch sport routes, including the two full-height challenges of La ley del deseo and Vía de los bomberos. Guidebook page 105.
