Itinerary description
We start at the 15th-century Ermita de Sant Pau (built on the remains of a much older church and near where a Roman villa once stood). We climb steadily up through a landscape of scrub and limestone karst, coming out at the top on great views of Sant Pere de Ribes, the mountains of Garraf, and the sea. We descend into a stretch of shaded forest until we reach the vineyards. We'll stop at the ruins of an old stone farmhouse, and look for lizards and snakes among the stones. This is also a good area for aromatic herbs for making infusions. We follow the dirt road past almond orchards and vineyards until we arrive back at the church.

Really nice short walk, thanks! Bit tricky to get started as there is no clear path at the beginning, and easy to overshoot. Lovely views and mixture of terrain.

Petita excursió amb bones vistes quan arribes al cim. La pujada una mica complicada per anar nens petits però amb paciència tots amunt!!
