In Dénia: Pare Pere Hermitage walk

Denia is a beautiful place to hike but the route I took to get out of town was a fairly busy road with no shoulder.  But once I got past that I was on a great trail along the base of Montgó Massif with great views!  The first place of interest was the Pare Pere hermitage 

A beautiful newly whitewashed home on the way up!

Quite a bit different than the subdivisions in the United States.

Karen PoretI think the architecture resembles either back alleys of Coronado, CA or San Diego, CA.

This is the structure Pare Pere lived in for the time. It was originally a well.

The next several photos were taken on the Cami de la Colonia del Montgo along the base Of the Montgo Mastiff.  I wish I would have had time to go further!

Gregory GarceauSometimes I read things like "Pare Pere" and wonder what that even means. Then I remember to ask Google or Bing before I post a comment and expose myself as an ignoramus. Now that I know, I can say the Pare Pere Hermitage is pretty cool--especially that little stone house he lived in. He was centuries before his time in the "Tiny House Movement."
