Moraira Sea Cliffs

Moraira sea cliffs are some large, imposing cliffs 15 minutes drive north of Calpe. Unfortunately they have had a chequered history with access being totally lost at one point. This was due to a couple of reasons. Firstly archaeological remains were found in the cave and then a rare species of plant, Silene Hifacensis was found.

Access has now been negotiated to a limited number of the previous routes and all future development is totally banned. An official guide has been produced that details exactly which routes are allowed.

Please stick to these limitations as any infringements will obviously endanger any other areas which have access issues. Also there is a new law in Valencia that expressly forbids the climbing in different protected areas, one of which is Moraira so you may find the long arm of the law descending on you.

	Due to the climbing ban on this cliff please do not put up any new routes. Any bolts on new route will be removed by the Mountain Federation of Valencia (the local governing body).
