Ermita De San Emeterio Y San Celedonio.
You start at the fountain in the hamlet and follow the path that is well marked. The path crosses a dirt road several times. On the way you will come to the Ermita De Santa Waldesca. The path ascends quite steeply to the Ermita De San Emeterio Y San Celedonio. The door of the Ermitage is closed but you can just open it to get an impression of the inside of this impressive building. Through the back door you can go to the ruins of the castle. The views from the castle are simply spectacular but some caution is advised on the edge of the rock.
Well marked.
Preferably in clear weather.
