We’ve just been lucky enough to return from a whole month in Spain, rock climbing and cycling based out of an apartment in Calpe…
The final destination on our American east coast adventure was the New River Gorge, or just the “New” as it seems to be called. We’d chosen to visit particularly because we hoped the seasonal autumn colours would be on full show at their best – we weren’t let down, it’s a beautiful place…

Leonidio is an amazing sport climbing destination! It’s as simple as that!
