We continue hiking toward the large cross at the base of the rock tower formation; behind it, the chapel nestled against the rock comes into view. About 200 m before the Capella de la Santa Cova, we turn left onto the hiking trail (sign for Sant Miquel). It runs below the chapel and then winds its way up the slopes of the Serra Llarga at a gentle incline, with the sky-reaching rock formations above us and the Llobregat Valley far below.
