About us

Welcome explorers to 'Expedition Costa Blanca', we are a group that will be exploring the exciting, spectacular, and hidden sights of the mountain areas of the Marina Alta and Marina Baja, in the Costa Blanca region of Spain

This group will appeal to those who are already 'fit to hike' with a sense of adventure, who want to meet like-minded individuals to enjoy the great outdoors.

Some of our trips will involve various grades of scrambling, ridge walks and you may need a head for heights. This will be explained fully on each event page.

For those of you that are just novices at hiking and lack experience of mountain hiking, we will aim to run some less challenging events to allow you to gain the necessary experience and fitness. These will be clearly stated on the programme of events.

We look forward to meeting you all on our adventures.
