THE FARMHOUSE (via prior arrangement)

THE CHAPEL (via prior arrangement)

VIEW ONWARD’S TO BARCELONA

The excursion often starts at the Sitges Plaza Catalunya or Levintina

  • GR92, then on to the GR-5, a dirt track at the beginning of the Garraf park. Here we take a path that slopes up, stony in some sections, but offers a backwards look at the magnificent coast of Sitges.
  • Along a lightly forested track that we will continue until they find another trail that is open to our left and to keep, parallel to the forest track, running alongside the sea with amazing views

The ‘Chapel of the Trinity’, painted white with an unusual stone facade,  built in 1910, adjoins a house. Reportably inhabited by a hermit, around the fourteenth century.

Who would ring the bell Bell to warn of bad weather and the presence of pirates.

BBQ facilities are available, or a path to the end of the cliff, to sit and eat a lunch.

By arrangement, vehicles can be brought to save the return walk, via a private secured drive,  (via prior arrangement)
