Valmayor Reservoir overflowing due to recent rains in April 2025

With all this water I didn't know if I would get through.

Valmayor was an ancient village in Valdemorillo that, it seems, once had a significant population and was depopulated following the plague of 1600. In 1648 the village was declared depopulated and its church became a hermitage. Legend has it that the Virgin of Hope appeared to some shepherds and asked them to build a chapel in her honour on this site, and in this way the old parish church, now converted into the Hermitage of Valmayor, was created.

The passage through the Arroyos dam is closed, we will have to go all the way around the tail of the reservoir to another small dam in ruins.

This hermitage, also called Hermitage of Colmenarejo due to its proximity to said town, is located near the Valmayor reservoir in a place where there is an area of tables to hold a picnic or attend the Pilgrimage of the Virgen de la Soledad.

Formerly there was a village in Valmayor that was important to have a church. today unoccupied, it remains, used as a hermitage
