Οι καλύτερες διαδρομές και πεζοπορίες στη Σαντ Ζουλιά δε Λόρια

This temple is one of the most outstanding examples of Romanesque architecture in the country, both for its age and its excellent state of conservation.

This small, ancient temple is a typical example of religious architecture in the Pyrenees, and although it is a modest construction, it has great historical and cultural value. It is a jewel of Andorran heritage, combining history, Romanesque architecture and a beautiful natural environment.

The main attraction of Canòlich is its sanctuary, dedicated to the Virgin Mary, known as the Mare de Déu de Canòlich. This sanctuary, located at an altitude of about 1,635 metres, is an important place of pilgrimage for the inhabitants of Andorra. The tradition of the pilgrimage to Canòlich is celebrated annually on the last Saturday of May, attracting numerous faithful who climb on foot to the sanctuary from Sant Julià de Lòria to pay homage to the Virgin.

Although Canòlich is not a large inhabited area, its importance lies in its spiritual and cultural value. The sanctuary is visited not only by devotees, but also by tourists seeking to learn about Andorra's historical and religious heritage. In addition, the place is a reference point for nature lovers looking for less-crowded hiking routes in the country.

In Aubinyà there are legends about hidden treasures. It is said that in times of war and conflict, the inhabitants hid their most precious possessions in the nearby mountains to protect them from invaders.

Located in the middle of the northern slope of Coll de Gallina, it is a very beautiful sanctuary with beautiful views of the mountain. You can also stop and have a drink before facing the last 4 km of the port. The Santuario del Canolich has been a part of the Vuelta a España on 2 occasions: the first, which happened to be the first time that a part of the Coll de la Gallina had been climbed, was won by Valverde; The second, Danielle Ratto won after a long breakaway on a day with very bad weather (I was there, in the Canolich)

The Coll de la Gallina is the hardest pass in the Principality of Andorra. Its two aspects are simply spectacular. It is worth climbing both slopes. Personally, I like the Fontaneda slope a little more, which is the one you climb on the "La Purito" march. I leave you the detail of the altimetry of both slopes that is published on the best website for these purposes by @cyclingcols --> http://www.cyclingcols.com/col/Gallina

We could certainly say that it is one of the most well-known mountain passes in the south of the Andorran country, along with Rabassa. The paved road does not exist historically, but was built not many years ago and helps to connect the towns of Fontaneda and Bixessarri.
