There is a curious legend about this place where the hermitage was located, according to which two shepherds were surprised by a bull that was scratching insistently in one place. As they approached, they discovered an image of San Miguel buried, supposedly buried by the Christians who were fleeing the Agarena invasion and that is why it was decided to build a temple dedicated to the archangel, but in a place more suitable for access by believers. But once the construction began in that nearby place that was believed to be better, the materials insistently disappeared and reappeared in the place of the original appearance, so it was definitely taken as a sign that that was where the hermitage should be built and there is the hermitage of San Miguel.
