Itinerario

1. This is an unique Sanctuary founded by the founder of Opus Dei San Jose María Escribá de Balaguer in 1975. The sanctuary is close to the old ermita XI century where his mom brought him to ask to Our Lady of Torreciudad to recover his son due to he was sick with meningitis. It is located quite far from Barcelona about 240 km (140-145) miles, but it is very well communicated (90% of the way in high-ways). We need 2h45 min each way to reach Torreciudad. In the sanctuary you can assist to a mass which is at 11 am or at 1.15 pm, also are masses at 5pm and at 6 pm (rosery). If we register our visit maybe someone from the staff host us and explain some details about the sanctuary. Anyway I know enough to show you the church and the collection of our ladies. Also, you can check out the ermita, the place where Jose María went with his mother when he was a 2-year-old boy sick with meningitis. There is a couple of interesting trails not very difficult: Via Crucis (14 stations of the cross) and the way of Saint Joseph (joy/pain).

   2,5 h

2. We are not going so far unless you really demand to do this but from the sanctuary if the day is clear we can see the views of the pyrenees from the sanctuary of torreciudad to take pictures. We can see Monte Perdido which is higher than 3300 meters above the sea level (11,500 feet abouve the sea level). We can see also a damm built in the 60's to save water from the Cinca River which is born in the high mountains and use it for agriculture and produce electricity.

   1 h

3. Near the sanctuary, you can enjoy a good meal in a restaurant. Ask me for suggestions and also taste some wine from the region which is the DO Somontano. In case we have some extra time I can show you also the near town Barbastro, where José María was born, and his nice gothic cathedral or check out Montserrat basilica on the way to Barcelona, but only if it is time enough.

About Barcellona

Barcellona mette gli edifici fantastici di Gaudí e un quartiere gotico medievale tra spiagge e colline verdi, con cucina e vita notturna all'altezza.

L'opera di Antoni Gaudí definisce l'immagine della città. La Sagrada Família si innalza sopra l'Eixample, Casa Batlló e Casa Milà fiancheggiano l'elegante Passeig de Gràcia, e le terrazze a mosaico del Park Güell guardano sui tetti. Il Barri Gòtic conserva la cattedrale, vicoli stretti e piazze nascoste, e El Born aggiunge il Museo Picasso e la slanciata chiesa di Santa Maria del Mar.

Top-ranked sights in Barcellona: Sagrada Família, Montserrat Mountain, Gothic Quarter (Barri Gòtic).
