THE STAIRCASE OF THE KING OF ARAGON
A 189-step staircase in the 45° cliff face, built by monks and giving access to a drinking water spring.
At the end of Simon-Varsi street, 189 steps cut into the cliff at a 45° angle! They would have been dug in one night by the soldiers of the king of Aragon, Alphonse V, during the siege of 1420. However, the real builders would be the Franciscan monks who would have cut these steps to reach a drinking water source at the bottom of the cliffs. What is certain is that it is advisable to be well-shod to undertake this unforgettable walk of beauty.

187 marches très inégales (ceux ayant mal aux genoux s'abstenir) descendent le long de la falaise vers la mer. vue splendide.
un peu cher pr ce que c'est cependant.
D’après la légende, cet escalier a été taillé par l’homme dans la roche calcaire en une seule nuit... Nous descendons 187 marches pour arriver au ras de la mer. Etant très touristique, il y a beaucoup de monde et forcément une fois de plus payant… C’est insolite mais sans plus…
