MYTHS, HERMITAGES AND LITTLE STARS

Leaving the Old Slaughterhouse in Tortosa, currently the Tourism Office, we take the Rambla de Felip Pedrell and turn left. Turn left before reaching the Estat Bridge and take Carrer de Montcada and Carrer de la Providència. From here we follow Camí del Barranc del Rastre which quickly slopes upwards. At the roundabout, turn left, where we find the Xalet d’Arasa.


We start a gentle but continuous climb here, passing the hermitage of Montserrat, Potra del Pino mountain and Tortosa Tennis Club, before a steeper climb towards the hermitage of Mig Camí. After a few more climbs, we pass by the Cement Factory and we soon arrive at the hermitage of Coll de l’Alba, which offers stunning views of the Ebro valley and Delta.


From Coll de l’Alba, turn right down the dirt track and pass the Tower of Gassia (c. XIV) and Mig Camí hermitage before reaching Tortosa, taking the same route that we took on the climb.
