This hermitage was built in the place where a cross had been placed at the end of the 18th century to ward off supposed practices of witchcraft in the area. The cross was later replaced by another and finally the hermitage was built on the spot.

This hermitage was built in the place where, at the end of the 18th century, a cross was placed to scare away alleged witchcraft practices in the area. The cross was later replaced by another and finally the hermitage was built on the site.

Great view of the mountains and Lanjarón, with the chapel or the cross for the foreground of your landscape shots ;-).
