Route description
The town of Naval is known for its tradition of ceramics and salt extraction and itsfrom the Salinar de la Rolda (the salt baths) the hiking trail begins. It takes us to some old Civil War trenches and from here, one can enjoy spectacular views of the Pyrenees.
From the lookout, the path takes us to the Santa Quiteria chapel, dating back to the 16th century. It underwent some modifications in the 18th century. It has a rectangular nave covered by a star shaped vault (apsidal section), lunette (rest of the nave); a chapel and sacristy attached to the southern part of the building. A procession takes place here on the 22nd of May or the closest Sunday.
