I'm looking for info about climbing on La Palma (Canarias). The two biggest climbing areas are Barranco del Agua (Puntallana, La Palma) and Barranco la Madera (Santa Cruz de la Palma). Does anyone now where (on the internet?) to find topo's of these 2 areas?
In reply to Harald: Chris Craggs might be able to help point in right direction or Al Evans.

There are free topos here and there (search on forums on here).

In reply to grumpybearpantsclimbinggoat: Thanks, but they've got no topos for La Palma. There's plenty to find on the Internet for Lanza, Gran and Tenerifa, but I'm looking for specific info about climbing on (Barranco del Agua and Barranco la Madera) La Palma. I remember seeing a topo of the routes in the Barranco del Agua on someone's blog, but can't find it anymore.
In reply to Harald: ok, soz

Found something to look for once on the island (from http://www.escuelasdeescalada.com/ficha.php?ID=64):
"Croquis en las tiendas Basalto (Tlf. 922 25 80 29) en La Laguna y M. Guerra Intersport (C/ La Salle, 26 y Centro Comercial Alcampo) en S/C de Tenerife). Revista Desnivel nº 115 (agotado) "

Harald: do let me know what you find. I have to go to la palma a lot with work, and whilst the rock quality around the island is not exactly inspiring I wouldn't mind it if there were somewhere worth taking shoes out for...

In reply to midgets of the world unite: Been to La Palma last year. Rock at Madara looked good, and the pics on the internet of Agua looked even better. But can't deny the fact La Palma is better known for its cycling and walking.

Will check for the topo when I'm on the island (end of april). If possible I will scan the topo and email it to you.
In reply to Harald:

fantastic! You're going before me but if you don't find it I'll have a look myself when I'm next out and return the favour.
