Convento del Deserto

This hulking convent is located 1.5km uphill from the village centre. It was founded in the 17th century by Carmelite friars, but since 1983 it has been home to a closed community of Benedictine nuns. While the convent is of only moderate interest, the 360-degree views from the belvedere (rooftop terrace) really make the knee-wearying hike worthwhile.

If the door to the belvedere is closed during opening hours, ring the bell beside it to be let in.
