DATA OF INTEREST
DESCRIPTION
The proverbial depopulation of Sierra Morena, and the consequent preservation of its nature, has here, in the Sierra de Andújar Natural Park, one of its clearest manifestations. In a wild territory, thirty kilometres from Andújar, is the sanctuary of the Virgen de la Cabeza, which finds its meaning in such a strange location.
For centuries it has attracted a large number of pilgrims from remote places and year after year it gathers crowds in one of the most popular pilgrimages in the country. The trail combines nature and history, landscapes and tradition throughout its brief journey.
