This small hermitage, built in the 16th and 17th centuries, is located in an environment of lush vegetation and beauty. Inside, the miracle of the Virgin of Chilla, the patron saint of Candeleda, is narrated on panels.

The festivities in honor of the Virgin of Chilla, declared of National Tourist Interest, are celebrated on the second and third weekend of September. The sanctuary is located 6 km from Candeleda and offers magnificent panoramic views of the Rosarito Reservoir and the sky. Legend has it that the Virgin appeared to a shepherd named Finardo, who had lost a goat due to eating weeds. The Virgin resurrected the goat, and since then, it has always been represented that way.

If you ever have the opportunity to visit this place, you will be immersed in a spiritual and tranquil experience surrounded by the natural beauty of the area. 🌿🌟

Legend has it that the Virgin of Chilla appeared to shepherd Finardo, resurrecting one of his goats, which had died from eating spoiled herbs. In exchange, he asked him to erect a hermitage in his honor. Since then, we find here the hermitage dedicated to this Virgin, patron saint of Candeleda, and whose celebration has been declared a tourist site of regional interest.
