Tips from the Community
The Sanctuary of Our Lady of Setefilla—also known as the Hermitage of Setefilla—is one of the most important places of devotion in the Lora del Río region. It is located in the mountains, very close to Setefilla Castle, an old Muslim fortress. The sanctuary is situated about 11–12 km from Lora del Río, on the road to La Puebla de los Infantes, next to the site of a former medieval village and under the watchful gaze of the castle that overlooks the entire valley.
