Go back to Finestra, go and have a go on Crucigama 7b and Montgronyeta 7b+. Best wall there for my money and relative exchange rate.

Would also recommend Culample 4 sector in the Zona del Panta, faces E/NE, gets a bit of morning sun and then in shade all afternoon. On the left hand side is a 30m wall with 4 3* 7b+ (I've done PGB and Besame Mucho, both excellent), in the middle is another good wall with routes in the 6c+-7b range, Fanatic 7a+ is particularly good.

For 7b-c, I’d agree with Ian/Guy’s recommendations. For 7a’s, I had a good day at Punta Espadellas (to the right when you’re walking into to the main Espadellas sector) - Hattori Hanzo, the one left of it and Rural Mafia were all good. Also a good selection around Regino, Can Dit Gros and Can Dit Xic (Regino, Figaflower, Indian Summer). Lastly, the wall above the approach path at Finestra (Vells Temps and the routes next to it).

Talibania (7a), Chulo de Bario (7b+), Man on the Moon (7b+) and Tron (7b+ or 7c if you avoid the eponymous trunk) are all great. Talibania is maybe the best 7a I've done in Margalef.On the left hand side of Culample 4 sector I did Whiskey Compadre (7b+) which was good.For 7cs, the two classic 7cs on Racó de les Tenebres close to Finestra are both good. Nice to be specifically Margalef-fit for them though.Penelope Cruz (7b+/c) on Can dit Gros is good.

S:Surfing at Pease Bay. I'm rubbish, but it's fun to go out once in a while. Small waves, caught some but very little genuine clean wave surfing got done... weirdly both arms flared up at my deep bicep (brachialis and/or brachioradialis).

Small waves, caught some but very little genuine clean wave surfing got done... weirdly both arms flared up at my deep bicep (brachialis and/or brachioradialis).Popping up while tired, I get it too. If you are feeling fresh at start of session, have your hands facing forward tuck your elbows in, if you are getting tired and your elbows are "flaring" face your hands inwards. It's when you have hands facing forwards and elbows out that you start straining the brachios. I realise it probably all happens a bit too fast to notice!
Probably a compound issue of paddling with wide arms (assuming it was a hired wide board) and fatigued pop ups.
