Ruud Streefkerk

Abella de la Conca, is a small, old and perfectly preserved village tucked away in the Catalan Pyrenees. There are no stores or cafes, and this pre-eminently constitutes the beauty of Abella de la Conca. There is one particular  thing to do though: climb! Surrounding the village is a series of limestone rock walls, offering many vertical climbing possibilities, such as overhanging rocks with all kinds of special angles.  

There are routes for everyone and for every season. And for those who want to visit this very unique destination, there is a climbers-lodge run by climbers: the Eco-Refugi is the only available accommodation in the village, with private rooms, a communal kitchen, yoga room, library and dining room.
