Just below the church, a sign
points, somewhat ambiguously, to the Ermita de Betlem (Bethlehem Hermitage),
some 9 km farther on. The road soon degenerates into a rocky track that
twists hair-raisingly up between dwarf palms and sea holly and then circles
down to the isolated hermitage, the home of a few hermetic monks. Behind
it, a path leads up the hillside to a fine mirador. The weekly market
in Arta is held on Tuesday morning.
