Among the visits scheduled for today during the flag-waving ceremony is the visit to bring hope to the Convent of the Immaculate Conception, also known as "Las Madres Trinitarias." It seems that this convent represented the first settlement of this religious order in the province of Jaén, back in the late 16th and early 17th centuries, on a plot of land donated by the "Twenty-Fourth Knight," Captain Martin de Valenzuela. Today, the presence of nuns is greatly diminished due to the vocational crisis.
