Shops
There are big supermarkets in, or on the outskirts, of all the main towns (often shut Sundays).
Villages often have a small shop and a bakery which may be closed in the afternoons.
Climbing Shops
There are a couple of good climbing shops in the centre of Alicante, worth a visit on a rest
day, or if you find you have forgotten/worn out any of your gear:
El Refugío -

Escalada y Mas -

There is a small sport shop on the main shopping street in Calp (Ifac Sports) with a few
climbing basics and a lot of cycling stuff.
Tourist Info -

Most decent sized towns in the area have a Tourist Office with friendly, helpful staff who speak
good English. These should be your first port of call if you need accommodation, details
about local transport, market days, things worth seeing and ideas for a rest day.

strongly recommended that personal travel insurance is taken out to cover rescue, medical
