To the southwest and a short distance from Candelario, a hill covered with a dense pine forest presides over and watches over life in the Villa. In it is the recreation area of the Cruz del Herrerito, where we can find tables, stone barbecues and a fountain.

Running

The group of three crosses is located in the upper part of a mountain that presides over the town of Candelario. Originally there was only one cross. Due to the growth of the Pinos, a larger cross and a third cross were added to the complex in the sixties. On May 1, the pilgrimage to the Cruz del Herrerito is celebrated at this point.

Hiking

Just 100 m. from the cuz, to the east is the Mirador de la Cantera, from where you can see the best view of Hoyamayor and the Sierra de Candelario. Do not let it pass if you approach the Herrerito
