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.

Bartolo Summit

Highlight • Summit

The ascent to the transmitter on the summit is tough and leads over very rough ground in places, but it's definitely worth it for this view - and not just once. The view extends over the entire beach section of Benicàssim and the foothills of the rugged mountains to Castelló de la Plana. If you're lucky, you can also watch a few hang-gliders take off.

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.
