Besides the church there is a source of drinking water, it saved me from heatstroke!

Checkpoint on the Madrid to Barcelona route, in Mequinenza arriving on the N211 coming from Caspe. You will find places to get supplies.

Municipality of les Garrigues with just over 300 inhabitants. It has been recorded since the twelfth century Its cooperative, founded in 1920, is well-known. Its oil is highly prized.

Good route, although I have seen and desired to go down from the hermitage. I need filming!

Without being knowledgeable about the subject, at first glance it is a different hermitage in terms of its construction, similar to a hybrid between a church and a farmhouse, with its two arches and that porch at the entrance, which on the other hand offer shade to the traveler and a good place to stop to rest and get some fresh air, since shade as such is not abundant in the area, since the orography is beginning to be of the most arid type. It is a church declared a cultural site of local interest, although I do not have data regarding the date of construction and so on.

There is no doubt that Iberians and Romans inhabited these lands and must have occupied and fortified this strategic location. In the 8th century, the site was an Arab defensive tower, built by the Berber tribe of the Miknasa, who gave the city its name. The current toponym Mequinenza is probably evident from the name. Since then, the strategically located fortress has been the center of many battles and conquests. It is now owned by a foundation and can only be visited by appointment

It looked great from far below. Unfortunately, when we got to the top, we discovered that the gate was locked. We should have gotten a permit from the town hall. Nevertheless, we enjoyed a little bit of the surrounding area with fantastic views

Sunday, public holiday... when there are no petrol stations... we will always have Super Pakis!! Fresh drink, ice cream, fruit... and ice 🧊🧊! All at a good price! Never waste its usefulness to refuel. Tip: if you go in a small group, in the middle of summer, pack ice packs and fill up drums... you'll have fresh water for a long time.
