In the heart of the Sierra Morena region we find the very ancient municipality of Santa Cruz de Mudela, born from the medieval repopulations carried out by King Alfonso VIII after his victory against the Almohads in Las Navas de Tolosa. 76 km from its capital, it proudly shows its most beautiful buildings to locals and strangers, among which the church of the Assumption, the palace-house of Carlos Ortega and the hermitage of the Virtues, among others, stand out.

The bullring dates back to 1645, making it the oldest in Spain. Its structure is square and is built in classic ashlar masonry. It combines the wood of its high galleries with footings and balustrade, along with the reddish-colored barriers, the white walls and the columns of the hermitage's façade. This unique hermitage and bullring complex is a place of great cultural and religious interest in the region. If you want to get more information or visit this place, you can consult the official page. I hope you enjoy exploring this historic corner! 😊🌟

The hermitage has its origins in the 15th century, although it is believed that the existence of the sanctuary is even older due to the Visigoth remains found at the site. The main nave of the hermitage, built in the 16th century, stands out for its Mudejar-style coffered ceiling. In the 17th century, the Casa de la Despensa and the chapel of the Virgin were built, where there is a pictorial group of Marian character. The dome with a lantern on pendentives of the presbytery was added in 1711 and is also decorated with paintings on a Marian theme. Throughout the 18th and 19th centuries, the sanctuary suffered decay and deterioration, but maintenance and restoration interventions were carried out in the 20th century.

Here you will find a place to park your bike, a small building that belongs to the canoeing club in the area. It is also a good place to have a view of the Mari Sánchez Reservoir (La Cabezuela).

Also in clear relation with the agricultural past of the population, the flour mills were built fundamentally in colonial times, taking advantage of the fluvial courses.

The Mirador del Desfiladero is located in the municipality of Aldeaquemada, in the Cascada de la Cimbarra Natural Area.
