La Fontcalda Sanctuary, Gandesa

add to planner

Near to the Canaletes river, surrounded by holm oaks, pine groves and calcareous cliffs, you reach La Fontcalda. This magnificent natural, green area, is located in Gandesa. Its name is linked to the presence of a fountian of medicinal water that gushes at 28 degrees, just to the left of the Canaletes River.
La Fontcalda Sanctuary was built in the 14th century, although the current neoclassic church was built in the 18th century. In 1936, during the Spanish Civil war, the sanctuary was burned down and the baroque altar with an image of the Virgin Mary were destroyed.
In the church square there are two guest houses, with a bar and restaurant (tels. 977 42 83 06 / 97742 08 54). There is also a recreational area with stone tables, toilets and showers. You can swim in some parts of the river.
Cyclists enjoy stopping at La Fontcalda Sanctuary, as it is situated close to the Via Verda de la Terra Alta (Green Trail), which follows the ancient Vall de Zafán railway, which used to connect Tortosa (Baix Ebre) and La Puebla de Híjar (Aragón).
