We followed online & local advice to πŸ…ΏοΈ at Puente de Penavera, a bridge NE of EstopiΓ±Γ‘n del Castillo, given the state of the dirt road. The 6.4km drive from our pitch in town took ~30 minutes. Although we sighted the formation ~4.5km into the hike, we first came to the former settlement of Finestres (πŸ“·1). It was depopulated in 1960 due to the filling of the Canelles reservoir; only one house, Casa Coix, is seasonally inhabited. A short & easy signposted walk links the village centre to Ermita de San Marcos | the Hermitage of Saint Mark; this is the best spot for panoramic views of the ~840m long formation (πŸ“·2). Folding of strata ~100 million years ago & subsequent erosion have created two primary parallel lines of vertical limestone that resemble a wall (πŸ“·3). Some of the formation is now partially submerged in the reservoir (πŸ“·4).
