Walk from Campanet to Hermitage St Miquel
Mountain village, an ancient sanctuary, and underground caves
Campanet is located in the north-west of Mallorca, about 8 km north of Inca. In Campanet, the parish church is worth a visit. It was built in 1717, and its outstanding feature is the sculpture on the altar. The church holds the relics of the Martyr San Victoriano, the complete body of the saint dressed as a warrior.
Directions
After this visit you can follow the road bordering the stream bed, (Torrent de San Miguel) until reaching a bridge. After crossing you arrive at the Hermitage that was one of the first churches constructed in Majorca, after its conquest by King Jaimes I. In the pulpit there are three very old carved figures, representing Saint Peter, Saint Michael and Saint John the Baptist. Other altarpieces and paintings can also be seen in the Hermitage.
When the visit to the Hermitage is over, the walk can be continued to the caves of Campanet, which you can visit before returning to the village by the same road. The total distance covered will have been about 8 km.
