Barranc de la Mina de les Nines - Mare de Déu de la Roca - Cova Foradada - Escales del Diable - Mont-Roig del Camp

This hike starts at Mont-Roig del Camp, and it’s approximately 7.5 km.

The first part unwinds through a dried ravine known as Barranc de la Mina de les Nines. It’s a hidden magical place with stone bridges and lush vegetation, usually only frequented by locals.

But the beauty doesn’t end here. After half an hour of walking through exuberant vegetation, you’ll spot a church on top of a rock. This is your next stop: the Ermita de la Mare de Déu de la Roca.

It’s a church from the 13th century built on an impressive red rock. A short climb will take you there, and we guarantee the climb is 100% worth it! The views from the church are mind-blowing.

Ready to continue exploring? It’s time to leave the church behind and ascend to La Cova Foradada, a beautiful cave with otherworldly wall patterns.

After admiring its beauty, you’ll keep going until you find the hike’s next highlight: Escales del Diable.

After descending the stairs, it’s time to climb again! But this time more gently. On this part of the hike, you’ll find several ropes on the rock that will make the ascent easier.

Get ready to stumble across several caves and arches along the way, each one more impressive than the one before. The red of the rocks here contrasts with the green vegetation and the blue waters of the sea on the horizon. It’s stunning!

Finally, the hike descends until crossing again with the path you took to get to the Mare de Déu de la Roca. Instead of going back to Mont-Roig del Camp through the ravine, you’ll follow a faster trail that unwinds through olive tree plantations until finally reaching the village.
