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. 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.

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 Barcelona

Barcelona zet Gaudí's fantasiegebouwen en een Gotische wijk tussen stranden en groene heuvels, met eten en nachtleven die er zeker bij passen.

Het werk van Antoni Gaudí bepaalt het beeld van de stad. De Sagrada Família rijst op boven de Eixample, Casa Batlló en Casa Milà staan langs de elegante Passeig de Gràcia en de mozaïekterrassen van Park Güell kijken uit over de daken. De Gotische wijk heeft zijn kathedraal, smalle steegjes en verborgen pleintjes behouden, en El Born voegt het Picassomuseum en de hoge kerk Santa Maria del Mar toe.

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