compared to most of the trips posted here this is small beer but i thought i would give it a go being as we have a nice new shiny site & user interface to play with .
Spain is dotted with Ermitas - small chapels in remote areas mostly on top of hills or mountains with a cell attached to house the solitary monk/preist - that gives us the word hermit.On Whitsun its traditional to walk up to the chapel , celebrate a mass 6 then get stuck in to eating & drinking .we went in the landcruiser. About half the people went into the mass the rest of us hung around outside doing what the Spanish do best - eating drinking smoking & shooting the shit.I dont have any photos of the ascent as i was driving but as my other half aggreed to drive down i could enjoy a couple of small glasses of wine .
so here goes with the photos .this is the traditional way of getting up if you are young & dont fancy walking
some views from the top
