A little before La Mata de Monteagudo, we turned off towards the sanctuary of the Virgen de la Velilla, which awaits on a clearing halfway up the mountain. Surrounded by oaks, beeches, and holly trees, the much-venerated Virgen de la Velilla has the privilege of residing in a truly beautiful place. In the 16th century, a small and humble sanctuary was built, where pilgrims came to worship the Virgen de la Velilla. By the end of the century, this Virgin was very well-known and famous due to her many miracles and favors, for which she received abundant donations and alms.
