Easy to overlook, as it is not very large, it is located right next to the main street. A visit is worthwhile, as it was created by Pablo Monguió from 1910-1912 in the modernist style.

The entrance fee of €5 combined with the Museum of Sacred Art is definitely worth it.

Simply grandiose - you dive into another world. This landscape was created by erosion. Discovered by chance. Simply magically attractive, to explore the landscape to the last corner. Sturdy footwear if you move off the wide path and be careful not to step too far on the edge, material could break away.
