The hermitage is located on a hill north of Hontoba, in the La Alcarria region, overlooking the Tajuña and Hontoba stream valleys from a promontory that reaches an altitude of approximately 901 meters. Its origins are unclear, although according to legend, the Virgin Mary appeared to a shepherd and asked that a hermitage be built. There are indications of a 13th-century chapel where the Virgin was already venerated. It was also a place of retreat for nobles such as Íñigo López de Mendoza, 4th Duke of the Infantado, in the 16th century. The hermitage is listed on the Red List of Endangered Heritage due to its alarming state of general ruin.

The Hermitage of the Plains At the top of the hill that guards Hontoba to the north, there are still the monumental ruins of what was the hermitage of Nuestra Señora de los LLanos, of ancient medieval origin, according to a legend that tells how the Virgin appeared to a shepherd there, and to the one who asked for a hermitage to be erected. For centuries there was a large influx of devotees and the celebration of pilgrimages at that height, from which extensive panoramas are contemplated. Next to it, the Hieronymite monks from Tendilla installed a house, who attended the cult of the hermitage, and collected alms. And the Dukes of the Infantado also liked to spend long periods of time there, especially the fourth Duke, the elderly Don Íñigo López de Mendoza, in the middle of the 16th century. The current remains are from the hermitage that, in a grandiose baroque style, was built around the 18th century, and they contain nothing artistic. Source: http://aache.com/hontoba/
