The Port of A Coruña will once again serve as a dramatic arena for elite extreme sports as the Psicobloc Master Series returns to Spain from September 18 to 20, serving as the headline athletic showcase of the GRAVITEO Urban Sports Festival.
Set against the backdrop of the Paseo de la Marina and the Explanada del Parrote, the competition features elite climbers ascending a towering 16-meter vertical wall constructed directly over the Atlantic Ocean. According to event organizers, the unique discipline challenges athletes to scale parallel routes without ropes, harnesses, or safety nets, leaving the open water below as their only landing zone.
