Route description
Starting on the old road from Calaceite to Arens de Lledó (to this day the street is called 'Camino de Arenys'), we begin on an asphalted section that soon gives way to a forestry track. On the outskirts of Calaceite we find the Capilla de La Misericordia, which still preserves an interesting coat of arms with a religious inscription from the eighteenth century.
After a stretch of cobbled path, we reach the edge of the A-1413 road; the trail runs alongside it for a few metres. We soon return to another cobbled path, and from there to a track passing through beautiful cultivated landscapes, predominantly olive groves and almond orchards.
Around the midpoint of the route, a pond serves as a landmark, alongside the PR waymarks. We begin the descent towards the Barranco de Moro. On the way down to the ravine, we glimpse the hermitage in the distance and some panoramas of the Puertos de Beceite. At the bottom of the ravine, large poplars and reeds give a sense of the moisture in the surroundings.
In the final section, after climbing a narrow path, we emerge onto the track that leads to San Pol. Known by this shortened name (San Hipólito is the full name), the building stands out both for its austerity and for the setting in which it sits. From San Pol, sweeping views of Matarraña, the Puertos de Beceite and the neighbouring Terra Alta can be enjoyed.
