Château de Laroque - CCACVI 
Cultural heritageCastel of Laroque-des Albères
In the eleventh century, the village came under the rule of a seigneurial family that materializes its power by building a castle in the middle of the fortified town. From the end of the thirteenth century, Laroque is considered a stronghold in the defense of the territory. Today, the tower is all that remains of the castle, the keep which dominated the castle and the old village having collapsed in 1890.

After a brief detour through the heart of the village of Laroque-des-Albères, follow the trail serving the hiking routes along a small canal until reaching the ruins of the Chapel of San Fructosos de Roca Vella.
From there, start climbing on a narrow path towards Font de la Vernosa. Then, turn right towards Font dels Simiots and join the path above the Mas Catalans estate.
At the water tower, a small mountain-side trail leads you to another slope. Begin the steep descent towards Villelongue-dels-Monts on a very steep trail.
The relay exchange takes place at the center of the village near the stadium.
