Abrics de l'Ermita Rock Art

We'll meet at your chosen time at the Pietat Chapel, located on the road between Tortosa and Ulldecona.

The tour will begin with a brief introduction to the spirituality behind the Levantine cave paintings found in this area of Catalonia. Questions regarding their representation and the sources of dyes will be addressed during the visit to the Abrics de l'Ermita Rock Art Interpretation Centre, where we will learn about human life 7000 years ago.

After the centre, we will walk to see three of the nine shelters preserved around the chapel. Inside, we will view cave paintings designated a World Heritage Site. This rock art from the Neolithic period reflects the civilization's beliefs and myths, many related to hunting, and captures their rituals on stone. Gatherings often took place in this natural terrain, providing protection from rain and winds.

Two hours later, the guided tour will conclude with views of the region of El Montsiá and the Serra de Godall mountain range.
