Bartolo Cross

Highlight • Monument

A good place to take a break. There's a stone basin next to the cross, with a comfortable edge for sitting. It's sheltered from the wind but mostly in the sun.

Hermitage of San Miguel on Pico Bartolo

Highlight • Religious Site

The San Miguel Arcángel hermitage is located on the summit of Pico Bartolo, at an altitude of 728 meters, overlooking the entire landscape of the Desierto de las Palmas.

It can be accessed by a steep track, and from its location, one can enjoy one of the most spectacular panoramas.

It is a shame that next to the hermitage there is a veritable forest of radio antennas, which, together with the ancient and venerable temple, offer a surreal image.

View of Castelló from El Bartolo

Highlight • Viewpoint

It is a very interesting route, not very technical, with long and intense ascents and descents, and very good views. It also has interesting places, such as the Alto del Bartolo with the hermitage of San Miguel, or the hermitage of les Santes, with its invaluable and life-saving source of very good water.

October 3, 2025,Hike Benicassim-Monasterio Desierto De Las Palmas (E) - Cruz del Bartolo-Cim del Bartolo-Alt del Colomer (rondje) 9/10
A truly beautiful hike! It starts with a climb and ends with a climb over rocky paths. A descent through the forest. Beautiful scenery. The climbs do require some hiking experience. Good hiking boots, trekking poles, and good physical condition are required.
