Walkers climb about 400 m through holm oak woods; good shoes and water are needed, and the descent takes about 40 minutes. Drivers find a small car park at the entrance. Many groups take a taxi up and walk down.
Entry is free. As published for the hermitage, it opens at 6:30 a.m. on weekdays and 7:30 a.m. at weekends, closing at 6:00 p.m. in winter and 7:00 p.m. in summer; confirm on the hermitage site before an early visit.
