Route of the hermitages of Ulldemolins

The route of the hermitages of Ulldemolins makes available to all the public the possibility of enjoying an environment rich in cultural, natural and landscape.

Route of the hermitages of Ulldemolins (Congost De Fraguerau) To do this we suggest that you first approach the hermitage of San Bartolomé. From there we will drive the Cadolles Fondas along the track that runs over the hermitage of San Antonio until arriving at the Fuente de la Gleva, it will take about 30 minutes.

From the viewpoint you can see the gorge of the Cadolles Fondas. Following the path that leads to the Fraguerau gorge, you can enjoy magnificent views of the cliffs with particular shapes like the Three Jurors, the corner of the Pastera or the Trona and you will enter a forest that in summer will give you a very comforting shadow. A sign will mark you the deviation towards the hermitage, to which you will arrive by a suspension bridge that is the attraction of the small ones and of the not so small ones.

Then we will return by the same road to the hermitage of San Antonio, you can refresh ourselves in the fountain and in the shade of the banana trees. By car or on foot we can reach the hermitage of Santa Magdalena in 5 minutes. You can go by the asphalted track or by the old road, that leaves behind the parking lot.
