If you have to use a vehicle, it has to be an all-terrain vehicle with four-wheel drive. It's better to leave it with another vehicle. The road is bad, with loose stones, and if you get a puncture, will they come to help you?

The approach by bike from Estopinyan is recommended, even if you can go there by car...

The route to the hermitage of Sant Vicente, the place where it is located and the views it offers of the reservoir.... these whims of nature 🏞️ are unforgettable 🤩

It's a shame about this place and its history, as always people look for other places where they can survive more comfortably and places as beautiful as this one are left behind, abandoned, and left to their own devices....😢

From these remains of what used to be the hermitage of Sant Marcos, there are spectacular views... Both of the natural wall of Les Finestres itself, and of the Pantano de Canelles, recommended hundred X hundred 🤩🏞️
