El patró dels escaladors? / Cliffhanger

Bé, la capella és de Sant Ramon, i no sembla que tingui especial lligam amb els esports de risc, però veient ON van construir aquesta ermita, potser sí que ho és.

La Mare de Déu de La Roca deu ser un dels santuaris més espectacularment situats de tot Catalunya. Especialment per la capella de Sant Ramon (que aquí podeu veure), que quasi desafia la llei de la gravetat, penjada sobre un cingle.

Es troba a l'est de Mont-roig del Camp.

This must be the shrine for the climbers, given it's location. In fact it's a shrine to San Ramon, but maybe this saint liked cliffs and mountains. But don't worry, a rock carved stair safely leads you there (it's located on the oposite side).

The catalan shrine of M. D. de la Roca ('the Virgin of the Rock') is one of the most impresive for its location. It lays in the surroundings of Mont-Roig del Camp, near Tarragona.
