Sant Miquel del Fai

On a trip we went today by car with Laura's parents and aunt to Sant Miguel del Fai, about 40 km from Barcelona. There we visited an old church in a cave (about 1000 AD), an hermitage, caves and a waterfall.
The church and Priory House are located in the middle of a rock face, built by water over centuries. From there we had a wonderful view over the valley and a big waterfall. The weather was sonny and quite warm, perfect to go walking around.

The entrance to Sant Miquel del Fai, high above a valley. The most impressive building is the Priory House (16th century) on the edge of the rocks. The church inside a cave is the oldest part.


The view towards the Priory House, the valley and the waterfall.


2 nice but small caves are possible to visit, one with water inside, the other one quite narrow, it's necessary to wear a helmet.
