Sierra Calderona

 

From the coast, travellers can visit the mountain towns of Naquera, Serra and Torres-Torres.  The approach is via a narrow valley towards the mountains, passing by the fountain of Barraiz and the peak of El Garbi (601m).  Before the ascent, on the skirts of the mountains, is the Carthusian monastery of Portacoeli, preserving religious works by Ribalta and Alonso Cano.  The summit of Rebalsadores (789m) is the highest point in these pine-covered hills. 

Near the town of Gilet in the Palencia valley is the monastery of Santo Expiritu, a momumental complex built in the 15th century.  A local inn can provide visitors with a few days of rest and relaxation among the Fransican monks and provide a home base for hikes in the surrounding mountains.
