      The Sanctuary of the Virgin of the Head is located in the Sierra de Andújar Natural Park. This sanctuary is one of the oldest in Spain, with a history dating back to the 13th century. It is known for its impressive Gothic architecture and religious significance, making it a very popular pilgrimage site.

      Every year, on the last weekend of April, a pilgrimage is held in honor of the Virgin of the Head, attracting thousands of pilgrims from all over Spain. During this festival, devotees climb the Cabezo hill, where the sanctuary is located, to pay homage to the Virgin.

        Place of pilgrimage to the Virgen de la Cabeza in the Sierra de Andújar since 1227, the year in which she appeared to the pastor Juan De Rivas (shepherd from the town of Colomera). It celebrates the pilgrimage every last Sunday of the month of opening, and the commemorative party of the apparition during the night of August 11 to 12.
