The Ermita del Cristo de las Cañas is a private hermitage located in the heart of the Cortijo de las Cañas, on the road to Santa Fe. The building, located in Belicena, is surrounded by two imposing chestnut trees that are over 100 years old. The hermitage is dedicated to the Cristo de las Cañas and is particularly famous for the tradition that on Good Friday at 3:00 pm the hermitage is opened to the public and visitors can make their three wishes, which, according to tradition, are granted by the Cristo.
The hermitage was originally built in the 17th century and has a rich history, including a special dispensation granted by the Archbishop of Granada in 1781. The hermitage is also used for religious gatherings and processions, especially in times of drought, when the residents of Belicena bring the image of their patron saint, San Marcos, to the hermitage to pray for rain.
