This sumptuous church was built in the last third of the 17th century on an old sanctuary to house the image of the Virgen del Saliente. According to Uclés and Sintas, this sanctuary is located where the inn is now.
The sanctuary of Nuestra Señora del Saliente is so large that there is a popular saying that states that it has “as many doors and windows as there are days in a year.”
The Saliente sanctuary dates from the 18th century and is one of the largest pilgrimage centers in southeastern Spain. It has an inn and magnificent views.
