Hiking

This is one of the hermitages on the Stations of the Cross, located in the Cuelgamuros Valley on Mount Jarosa. Several hermitages are part of this Stations of the Cross, and the surprising thing about them is that they are hidden among the trees.

Hiking

This chapel, part of the Via Crucis, is the highest of all, and to reach it you'll have to climb a series of exhausting stone steps. The tranquility of the place is breathtaking. To access the Via Crucis, you must request permission.
