진스타‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪14‬개의 천연기념물

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.

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.

It's a very beautiful peak with fantastic views

Very spectacular cave, with dry stone walls where you can walk around inside.

It is a small, rectangular, single-storey hermitage, made of lime and mortar and with a gabled roof without a gable. The primary purpose of the chapel of Sant Roc was to provide a secluded place for the characters of the Reformed Carmelite Order who wanted, for a few days, to lead the life of an anchorite, but in a more comfortable place than the one that characterized the first hermitages built during the first half of the 17th century in the Vall de Cardó, following the founding path of Teresa de Jesús. Although the date of consecration is unknown, it is known that it was the last to be built. It was abandoned, like the rest, in 1835 due to the confiscation of Mendizábal. Its waters, known since ancient times as Ronya due to its healing properties, allowed the hermitage to be transformed, from the beginning of the use of the valley as a spa, into the pavilion for inhalations, sprays and partial bathrooms. But as it was very far from the main buildings, at the beginning of the 19th century the waters of the Ronya or Sant Roc were led to other sources that were closer After the Civil War, the hermitage of Sant Elies or del Borboll concentrated the services hydro-therapeutics, and that of Sant Roc was abandoned.

Located in a beautiful setting in the center of the Vall de Cardó, at the foot of the path that goes up the Barranc de Sant Roc between the hermitages of Sant Josep and Sant Roc, in the shade provided by the enormous pine trees that surround it, it is a fountain with a very elaborate work structure and is ideal for a stop and a must or to strike up a conversation because on both sides there are stone benches that invite you.

Well-known short-distance cave in the Serra de Cardó (Rasquera) Through a high mouth, more than 5 meters, you enter a single gallery of about 10 to 15 meters in length. It seems that in other times it was used to guard flocks. Topography is not available, so the speleometric data are approximate. Known since ancient times as the Llòbrega to differentiate it from the relatively nearby cave, which is illuminated with two mouths and is known as the Luminous. 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.

the "Xàquera" or the Creu de Santos has two peaks which creates some discrepancy, because while the map of the Piolet publishing house indicates the western point (941.9m) where the geodetic vertex is located, with this name and it remains as regional roof of the Ribera de l'Ebre, it is no less true that the eastern tip, where there is a cross, is what the ICGC calls with this name and with its height (942.3m) it should be the regional roof . Proof of this is that most hikers post photos of the geodesic vertex instead of the culminating point where the Cross is located. Apart from this, the two points are excellent 360º viewpoints of the regions of Ribera and Baix Ebre.
