The tour starts at the Abbey singular space, wedged in the mountains. From here you can see small lakes formed by the waters of rains and melting snow. In front of the square is the Casa del Prior (s. XV) of Gothic style and now converted into an exhibition hall and restaurant.
A stroll through the terrace can see the entire valley. Following down a stone corridor, which had been part of the cloister, you reach Sant Miquel laermita Romanesque (s. X). Built inside a cave with a waterfall, the place had been previously used for pagan worship.
