The Ermita de Santa Cruz in Fermoselle is a charming and solitary hermitage located near the border with Portugal. It is located on the outskirts of the town, in a natural setting that mixes vineyards of the “Arribes” designation of origin with olive trees and other plants.
The hermitage is an ideal place to spend the day with the family, as it has an esplanade with a fountain, trees and wooden tables. In addition, it is an excellent starting point to access the Mirador de las Escaleras, from where you can enjoy spectacular views over the Arribes del Duero Natural Park.

Construction of the Visigothic and Mozarabic period. On the lintel of the door of the Hermitage we will see a curious Gothic inscription that says "By the sign of the Cross, deliver us from our enemies". The Hermitage is also known as the Hermitage of Cristo del Pino. Legend has it that in the town of Fariza the Moors threw the image of Cristo del Pino into the Duero and downstream a shepherd picked it up and took it up to Fermoselle to finally build a chapel in his honor. If we skirt the hermitage, we will arrive at the fantastic viewpoint.
