Hiking

The Sanctuary is located in a place 6 km by road from the town. The hermitage houses two images of the Virgen de la Esperanza, patron saint of Calasparra, who are worshiped together. The primitive hermitage (XVII) was in one of the caves on the Segura river, a natural shelter for shepherds, to which new rooms and buildings have been added with the expansion of the cult. The creation of terraces up to the river has been succeeded in modern times by the creation of service areas: parking lots, restaurant, hotel, etc.
