Sanctuary of Our Lady of the Peña de Francia

Highlight • Religious Site

Not only does it give its name to the wonderful Natural Park, but its peak at 1,727 meters above sea level offers the best panoramic views in all directions. Right there, at the top, is the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Peña de Francia of the Dominican Order that is worth visiting. And of course, you cannot return without having taken the obligatory photos at the viewpoint and the Balcony of Santiago, two panoramic points par excellence.
You can get here using the means that you like best, either by car, bike or walking, the last modality will give you several alternatives of very picturesque trails from the town of La Alberca or from Camping Sierra de Francia.
