The Sanctuary is located in a place 6 km by road from the town. The hermitage houses two images of the Virgen de la Esperanza, patron saint of Calasparra, who are worshiped together. The primitive hermitage (XVII) was in one of the caves on the Segura river, a natural shelter for shepherds, to which new rooms and buildings have been added with the expansion of the cult. The creation of terraces up to the river has been succeeded in modern times by the creation of service areas: parking lots, restaurant, hotel, etc.

It's an amazing place. Just six km from Calasparra, is this beautiful sanctuary which is visited annually by nearly a million people.
Declared of geological interest, the sanctuary houses two images of the Virgen de la Esperanza. In addition, the old hermitage from the 17th century was originally built over one of the caves on the Segura river.

The Santuario de La Virgen de La Esperanza is more than worth a visit. A beautiful rock-hewn church with blackened ceilings from the torches used to light it. The area is also very beautiful with the River Segura flowing in front of the Santuario. We live 4 km's from this church.
