エルピネルデブライの天然記念物・トップ20

A beautiful route that runs almost entirely along trails and beautiful natural spaces, offering magnificent views from the top of Xàquera or the Creu de Santos.

Tip: Be sure to take a look into the gorge.

Spectacular balma that pierces the ridge and was once arranged as a key access point to the valley. The dry stone zigzags the ridge to comfortably access from one side of the ridge to the other. Known since ancient times as Lluminosa to differentiate it from the relatively nearby cave which, being a closed gallery, is known as Llòbrega. Cited by Faura in his Collection (1909) and by Ferraté in Speleologia de les comarques Tarragona (1918), although neither gives more information than the name. We are not aware of any specific cataloging work, although it is well known by hikers. When the Mestral winds blow, which is quite common, the force of the wind increases dramatically as it passes through the Cave.

Unfortunately, due to the high temperatures in the morning, we had to turn back very early because it was far too strenuous for the dogs. Those who want to go on the tours here are advised not to go during the summer months, not even for the short tours 😉 We were here in June, unbearably hot, at half past nine... Otherwise fantastically beautiful and highly recommended, well signposted. We will come back one day, in autumn or spring.

It's a very beautiful peak with fantastic views

This recreational area located in the shade of holm oaks and pines is a very important area for the inhabitants of Paüls. Not only is it the venue for their parties, but it is also the starting point for several hiking trails. It has an untreated water source.

Good Picnic area, quiet in the middle of nature

Perfect place to enjoy the views of Fontcalda and even a good swim! Easy access!
