The sandstone buildings on the summit of were once a convent and chapel. The location offered the nuns solitude and views to accompany their worship. The traditional architecture, featuring small windows and tiled floors, ensures that the buildings' interiors stay relatively cool during the warm months. Tour the rooms, including a large dining area that was a regular gathering place for the faithful. The attraction is only accessible by foot from the base of the summit, so wear sensible walking shoes. The restaurant next to the convent serves simple, traditional fare, including local olive oil, meats, cheese, and vegetables.

Go early otherwise it will be far too hot. The terrain is road tarmac for 90% of the upwards trek with many hairpin bends taking you up 839 feet in 1.5 miles. So its a lot of uphill! The last...

Great walk, go early. Great view. You’ll need a beer after. Cafe at the top. Would be good if they had an ice bath and a brewery.

Steep walk up a well made concrete and tarmac road, until the last 15 minutes on a cobbled path. Very ambient feeling at the top, peaceful and nice court yards. Small cafe selling drinks and snack...

Beautiful, simply beautiful. Only accessible by foot, and once the paved road ends the cobble path may be difficult for some. It's a steady grade up as well, which some may also find challenging. It is so peaceful wandering around the grounds and buildings. Amazing views of the surrounding area.

Good place to go for a small walk if you’re in the area. The hike is pretty easy. At the beginning just a road. Later, for last 15 min of walk ther’s some stone path which might be a bit problematic for someone. Pretty close to Pollenca, easy access. Not the most beautiful hike way but views during the way and at the end are nice and it’s worth to go. Cool to walk to warm up and move a bit. Even with not really sunny weather as I unfortunately had ;).

What an amazing view of the area. You can only walk up and it is quite challenging due to the steepness as you get to the last 500m. It's actually a total climb too 317m it's definitely going to get the heart pumping so if you have a health condition don't do it. You literally just walk from the main road near the town car park which is free as is the Sanctuary at the top. Toilets and small coffee shop at the top.

A steady path up to the Puig and fantastic views of Pollenca! The walk from the bottom takes around 35-45 minutes
