It is the best known hermitage in Zújar, built in the mid-20th century in the most avant-garde European style, making it an example of a 20th century hermitage integrated into the wild landscape of Cerro Jabalcón. In 2001, a viewpoint was installed on its esplanade

Hiking

Spectacular route that offers impressive views of the entire region. The route is demanding at times due to the slope on the path through the forest and be careful on the descent due to the loose gravel.
In general, a highly recommended route.
