Escorca, Religious hermitage in Escorca, Balearic Islands, Spain.
This small religious hermitage is located in the rugged mountain municipality of Escorca within the Serra de Tramuntana range on Mallorca's northwest coast, surrounded by peaks and valleys.
The hermitage represents centuries of spiritual devotion in the region, with structures that reflect the long tradition of religious sites established across the mountainous terrain following the Christian reconquest.
Local pilgrims and visitors often incorporate visits to hermitages into their exploration of the area's spiritual heritage, connecting religious practice with the natural environment of the mountains.
The hermitage is accessible via mountain roads that wind through the Serra de Tramuntana, and visitors should bring appropriate footwear and clothing for variable mountain weather conditions.
The hermitage sits in one of Mallorca's most remote and less populated areas, providing a place for reflection and quiet contemplation far from the coastal tourist centers.

Mallorca offers diverse landscapes where fine sandy beaches and wild coves surrounded by limestone cliffs succeed one another. On the northwest coast, Sa Calobra marks the spectacular mouth of the Torrent de Pareis, while Cala Figuera nestles between the rocky walls of Cape Formentor. To the southeast, near Santanyí, Caló del Moro and the Mondragó natural park reveal other facets of the Mediterranean coast. The island's architectural heritage reflects centuries of history. In Palma, the Gothic cathedral from the 14th century dominates the port with its nave standing 144 feet (44 meters) high and 61 stained glass windows. The round Bellver Castle, built in 1311, is perched on the heights of the city. The Drach Caves in Porto Cristo reveal an underground world spanning approximately 0.75 miles (1.2 km), including Lake Martel, one of Europe’s largest underground lakes. The Alfàbia Gardens in Sóller preserve Moorish hydraulic art from the 13th century, while the Roman site of Pol·lèntia in Alcúdia dates back to the 1st century BC. To the north, the s'Albufera natural park conserves 4,200 acres (1,700 hectares) of wetlands hosting over 250 species of migratory birds.
