⛰️An area characterized by constant shade and an incredibly high concentration of boulders per square meter. The problems range from very low to very high, offering something for every taste. Currently, there are just over 40 established lines, but the sector’s potential exceeds 100 problems. The area is under development in 2026 and is expected to grow progressively in the coming years. Climbs feature pockets, edges, and mantles, catering both to beginners and more advanced climbers. The approach is short and easy, making the sector perfect even for those just starting out.

The area’s history is quite tangled. In 2016 Pol Roca sent an 8B project, naming it Zona Neural. That same year another 8A+, Alarma de Lluvia, was climbed to its right. After that, the zone remained mostly forgotten under the shadow of the nearby sector La Vía.
It stayed that way until December 2025, when Felix and Mikael, under Felix’s experienced guidance, as he already knew the area well, decided to clean it up from a crazy ammount of trees, bringing to life one of the densest concentrations, for square meters, of boulders in Alcañiz. The area still has plenty of room to grow, with many more potential lines waiting to be developed.
