Sella is the most important and extensive area in the whole Costa Blanca. There is so much climbing that you could easily spend a whole week's holiday here and only leave the valley to top up on your supplies at the supermarket. The most popular section is the long ridge in the centre of the valley which has a superb south face. However if you stray from the crowds then you will be rewarded with some peace and solitude. In hot weather the north facing Pared de Rosalía is worth considering with its great long routes in the mid and harder grades.
