Sarratella between Ruta de l'Ermita and Rock Paintings

In Sarratella, you can plan your trip around specific traces of paths, buildings and art. One route provides fixed points of reference; hermitages, rock paintings and older remains offer further ways to explore the area. This allows you to choose between movement, architecture and cultural-historical interests without conflating the individual destinations.

Hiking with clear points of reference

The PR-CV 394 Ruta de l'Ermita begins at Plaça Major. The Les Fontanelles starting area is a natural area. The route has a theoretical walking time of 2 hours and 45 minutes and involves an ascent of 305 metres. These two values help you assess the time and physical demands of your hiking day. Considering walking time and ascent together allows you to consciously fit the hike into a daily rhythm with further or more leisurely cultural experiences. The starting point at Plaça Major and the Les Fontanelles starting area also provide specific spatial reference points for planning the entire hiking day.

The Ermita de San Juan Nepomuceno

The Ermita de San Juan Nepomuceno is a complex comprising a chapel, a hermit's house, a council room, a stable and animal enclosures. The chapel has three naves, with the central nave wider than the side naves. In 1985, the ermita was restored with contributions from the residents of Sarratella; the residents also take care of its cleaning and maintenance. The layout, different functions and local involvement exist side by side here. This means the complex can be viewed through several specific features rather than solely through its outward appearance.

Architecture and sacred furnishings

The Ermita de San Miguel follows neoclassical architectural principles on the exterior. Its floor plan is rectangular and comprises a single nave, four bays and a presbytery. The ermita's ecclesiastical treasury includes a Renaissance velvet cape for bringing Communion to the sick.

Rock Paintings at the Abrigo del Barranco de l’Espigolar

At the Abrigo del Barranco de l’Espigolar, engraved signs, deer and other figures are arranged across eight rock-art panels. There are also schematic human figures and painted representations of Levantine art. Access to the vertical rock face is very difficult; a visit is recommended only for experienced individuals. You should take this access situation into account in your planning, along with the variety of motifs.

La Serratella between Oven and Yew Tree

The old oven of La Serratella dates from the Middle Ages. Routes from La Serratella lead to a thousand-year-old yew tree. One route through the municipal area of La Serratella leads to it; the yew is considered a monumental tree in a small area with native vegetation. The medieval oven provides a historical point of reference; the route to the thousand-year-old yew tree leads within the municipal area to a small area of native vegetation. For choosing between culture and nature, La Serratella therefore offers two clearly distinct points of reference.
