The Roques de Benet, located in the center of the whole mountain range and separated from Horta by a large plain, attract our eyes and are a point of reference in the Terra Alta.<\/span> These impressive rocks, which at the time inspired the painter Pablo Picasso, are one of the most emblematic mountain formations in the Natural Park.<\/span> Its vertical conglomerate walls rise almost 300 m and lead down to a limestone plinth.<\/span> Its original name, Bene, is Arabic and is already included in the 12th century Christian settlement charter.<\/span> The way to get there is indicated and is suitable for everyone who has a minimum of physical shape.<\/span> From the top, at 1013 m, we enjoy a fantastic bird\u2019s eye view of the entire plain in front of us and the surrounding mountains.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
