The best walks and hikes around Renera

The hermitage is located on a hill north of Hontoba, in the La Alcarria region, overlooking the Tajuña and Hontoba stream valleys from a promontory that reaches an altitude of approximately 901 meters. Its origins are unclear, although according to legend, the Virgin Mary appeared to a shepherd and asked that a hermitage be built. There are indications of a 13th-century chapel where the Virgin was already venerated. It was also a place of retreat for nobles such as Íñigo López de Mendoza, 4th Duke of the Infantado, in the 16th century. The hermitage is listed on the Red List of Endangered Heritage due to its alarming state of general ruin.

Next to the road, a milestone and a plaque commemorate the stay of Friar Francisco Ximénez de Cisneros in this monastery, which is now in ruins.

In the plain of the Arles river, between the Tagus and the Tajuña, the Villa Ducal de Pastrana welcomes us. Its multiple samples of artistic and cultural heritage have given it the title of Artistic Historical Site. Pastrana is enriched with figures and literary stories; Thus, its Carmelite convents were founded by Saint Teresa and Saint John of the Cross. Moratín later settled in the town for long periods of time and, closer to our days, Camilo José Cela immortalized it by portraying it in his Viaje a la Alcarria. The Plaza de la Hora is governed by the imposing Ducal Palace, in Renaissance style and with an abundance of Mannerist elements. Some wonderful coffered ceilings also designed by Alonso de Covarrubias, in Plateresque style, have been preserved. Likewise, the skirting boards of Toledo tiles in the Mudejar style stand out. It offers its visitors the opportunity to visit various museums and emblematic monuments of the town. DUCAL PALACE TAPESTRY MUSEUM SANTA TERESA V CENTENARY MUSEUM
