March 16, 2026, Puente de Hierro de Villafranca

A metal bridge crosses the Guadalquivir River on the outskirts of Villafranca de Córdoba. Built in the late 19th century, it is notable for its riveted iron structure, typical of the engineering of that era.

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.

It is a hermitage of the same name and a resting place for pilgrims on the way up to the Sanctuary of the Virgin of the Head. From here a descent begins until the passage through the Jándula River.

Municipality located to the east of the province, from the foothills of Sierra Morena to the Guadalquivir, in a landscape of fertile lands of olive trees, meadows and herbaceous crops. On the banks of the river there are some thickets that are of great natural interest as they serve as a refuge for numerous aquatic birds. The town, presided over by the Garci-Méndez Tower - the rest of the old fortress - sits on a hill from which a wide panorama can be seen. Its urban configuration is reminiscent of fortress towns, built around a castle. Currently, the center of the town is occupied by the Plaza de la Constitución where the Parish of the Assumption is located.

Municipality located to the east of the province of Córdoba, on the border with Jaén. Most of it is located in the foothills of Sierra Morena, making the Guadalquivir River the border with the countryside. Therefore, the mountains, the river and the countryside are the three elements that determine the landscape. The first is part of the Sierra de Cardeña y Montoro Natural Park, and in it we can find vegetation of holm oaks, wild olive trees, stone and maritime pines and a population of melojo oak, rare in Andalusia. It is also an area of great fauna, hunting and livestock value. The second, which surrounds the town, is the axis of the landscape, life and history of the town; Due to the beauty of the meander, it is also known as the Andalusian Toledo. The third, populated by olive trees, places us in a truly Cordoba environment. The town, with an Iberian, Greek, Roman, and Muslim past, is located on a small elevation that dominates the course of the river that divides it into two neighborhoods, offering an unmistakable image. Declared a Historic-Artistic Site in 1969, it brings together a multitude of attractions and tourist attractions to visit, such as the bridge over the river, the Church of San Bartolomé, the Casa de las Tercias, its steep streets of white houses, or the Torre de Villaverde. Its Holy Week, declared of Tourist Interest, reaches its greatest splendor on the afternoon of Holy Thursday with the presence of the Roman Empire. It is one of the towns included in the Baético Romana Route.
