Located on the outskirts of Béjar in the middle of the Sierra de Candelario forest, this magnificent Sanctuary was built after the apparition of the Virgin in 1496. It is a very picturesque building and it is also worth visiting inside.

A very popular place in the area and with good reason it is. Next to the cross is the viewpoint that offers beautiful panoramic views of the entire Sierra de Béjar valley and the town below. A few meters away is the refuge and an area with tables to take a break and enjoy this wonderful place.
