The trail (PR) leading there is very poorly maintained and frankly difficult to follow in places. I also saw no markings (apart from two old wooden signs). A shame.

This hermitage belongs to Torres de Albánchez. It is a very quiet place to make a stop along the way and savor a delicious picnic in the middle of nature.
