Ghost Chapel in the Mountains

A twelfth-century chapel to a different saint, abandoned in the 1930s and restored more recently. A hillside hike out of Tudela.

Eight kilometres from Tudela in the hills lies a twelfth-century chapel. First mentioned in 1222, it was known as the Ermita de Nuestra Señora de Mismanos - a name it kept for five hundred years until it changed to San Marcos in 1732. Abandoned since 1931, the ermita was restored and reopened as a tiny museum in 2012.
