The hermitage, located next to the Compás viewpoint, was hewn from the rock by a Carmelite monk in the second half of the 17th century. It contains the statue of the Virgen de la Peña, patron saint of Mijas, which, according to legend, was discovered in 1586 by two shepherd children who were led to the place by a dove.
