At this point I come across the parish church of the town of La Horcajada. I took advantage of my visit to this beautiful town to fill up the bottle at the fountain that we will find in the center.

The Church of Our Lady of the Assumption was built in the 14th century on the site of the old fortress and rebuilt in the 16th century.
Of considerable size, its polygonal sanctuary and transept stand out, towering above the rest of the church and displaying magnificent ashlar masonry and stepped prismatic buttresses.
The apse and the central section of the transept are covered with star-shaped ribbed vaults. They are the work of Lucas Giraldo and Juan Gutiérrez, two of the finest architects of the 16th century.
