This settlement located in the Sierra de Cardeña y Montoro Natural Park is a nucleus of traditional architecture whose present is far from its origin, as most of the houses are intended for rural tourism. It is a Starlight reserve within an absolute haven of peace.

Although the exact date of its construction is unknown, tradition indicates that it was built in the mid-15th century, possibly thanks to a woman from Los Pedroches who promoted the construction of the first hermitage. According to legend, the image of the Virgin was found by a shepherd from Pedroche in a holm oak near the sanctuary at the beginning of the 15th century.

The Mocho bridge is located in Alcolea, within the municipality of Córdoba, and crosses the Guadalmellato river near its mouth in the Guadalquivir. It is a Roman bridge that was part of the Via Augusta, the great road that connected Cádiz with the Pyrenees passing through Córdoba.
