Sant Roc de la Barroca

Nature · Sant Martí de Llémena, Gironès, Girona

The cingles de Sant Roc are a rocky ridge that forms the boundary between the municipalities of Amer, Sant Aniol de Finestres and Sant Martí de Llémena, in the Vall de Llémena. Its highest point, at 598 metres, coincides with the hermitage of Sant Roc de la Barroca, built in 1447, and included in the list of the 100 cims of the Federació d'Entitats Excursionistes de Catalunya. Seen from above, the ridge forms a wedge pointing eastward and rises almost two hundred metres above the plain, separating the Sant Climent stream, to the south, from the Llémena stream, to the north and east, both tributaries of the Ter. From this natural viewpoint the valley is dominated, with the Banya del Boc volcano and the Rocacorba massif.
