Location: Sitges, Garraf, Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain
There are several paths that allow you to ascend to the top: from Sitges, through the urbanization of Quintmar, from Ribes through the urbanization Mas Albà, from Vallcarca through the hermitage of La Trinitat.
At the top of the Puig stands the Creu de Sant Isidre, built between 1953 and 1955 by a group of members of the Sitges Hiking Association "Amunt". The monument, eight meters high, has a base of three steps, on which rises a conical trunk topped by a cross, all in stone. The sculpture is decorated with the coat of arms of the Agrupació Excursionista and eight terracottas, two large ones (representing the Holy Christ and the Virgin of the Vineyard), and six smaller ones (Sant Llorenç and Sant Isidre, names of neighboring peaks, Sant Bernat de Menthon, patron saint of hikers, Sant Bartomeu and Santa Tecla, patron saints of Sitges, and Sant Sebastià, a name closely linked to this town).
