It is a river that originates in the south of the province of Ciudad Real and is formed by the confluence of the Montoro and Ojailén rivers. It creates two reservoirs before flowing past the Sanctuary of the Virgin of the Head. The first reservoir is called "La Lancha" and the second, "Encinarejo," is used for swimming during the summer months. It flows into the Guadalquivir River very near the town of Marmolejo.

The first stop on the old road to the Sanctuary of the Virgin of the Head is where pilgrims rest and have a light lunch before continuing their journey. Here you'll find several watering troughs so the horses can quench their thirst during the approximately 20-kilometer trek from the city of Andújar. A small chapel has also been built where pilgrims can pray to the Virgin.

The hermitage of San Ginés is an important milestone for pilgrim walkers who make the journey from Andújar to the Sanctuary of the Virgen de la Cabeza, along what is known as the old road or bridle path. San Ginés is the place where there is a kind of hill that leaves Andújar behind in the view, to soon resume the views of the Jándula river valley. Walkers usually stop there to rest and regain strength. The hermitage and its surroundings were also rehabilitated a few years ago.
