New family outing today we went to the Sanctuary of the Quar. Before reaching the shrine we stopped at a farm-solids (Soldevila House) where we purchased a soft cheese, which we tested at the Shrine and was delicious.
The Sanctuary is located at 1020 meters on a cool, surrounded by steep rocks. The first news we have is the year 819. The unknown Romanesque church was consecrated in 900 by the Bishop of Urgell. Here you have a link where I found more information about the sanctuary and the Virgin: LINK
Then we followed the road and we got what was once the Monastery of Sant Pere de Portella. As we have said the man from the dairy was once a haven where they came to stop at the University of Cervera in the Carlist wars, no idea if it's true or not (accessed wikipedia what man says is true XD)
Here the paved road ends, just where the road leaves just paved road to the northern reaches Borreda certainly, but what's interesting is that 500 is the source of the abbot. Supply us after we have continued to Borreda, did not know how the track would be later, and better not gamble.
