Ruins of the old Hermitage that used to be part of Polvoranca, a village that, according to legend, had a reputation for being cursed and was finally depopulated towards the end of the 19th century.

I do this circuit as training, on weekdays that I can.

Mountain biking

Excellent for dirt trails without touching asphalt. Wear appropriate clothing to avoid the sun, as there is shade, but not on the longer trails. I recommend going in the morning, as the return journey is quite arduous, especially in summer.
