Ermita de San Úrbez
A small ancient chapel built into a cliff cave at the mouth of the Anisclo Canyon, beside a medieval stone bridge that spans the deep gorge.
The Ermita de San Úrbez is a small chapel built in a rock cave at the entrance to the Anisclo Canyon. Legend says the 8th-century hermit San Úrbez once lived and prayed here. Beside it, a single-arch stone bridge crosses the deep, narrow gorge of the Bellos River, where the green, fast-flowing water rushes below. It is about a 10-minute walk from the roadside parking lot and is also the starting point for canyon hikes. The chapel is generally not open inside, so it is best admired from the outside.
