This hermitage receives the visitor as soon as they enter the Villa de Candalario and is called the hermitage of Santo Cristo del Refugio, on a large esplanade presided over by the Terminus Cross. Inside rests the Cristo del Refugio, of great devotion by the residents of the town.

Nice dam on the Cuerpo de hombre river. Perfect for taking a dip on a hot summer day.

Located on the outskirts of Béjar in the middle of the Sierra de Candelario forest, this magnificent Sanctuary was built after the apparition of the Virgin in 1496. It is a very picturesque building and it is also worth visiting inside.

A very popular place in the area and with good reason it is. Next to the cross is the viewpoint that offers beautiful panoramic views of the entire Sierra de Béjar valley and the town below. A few meters away is the refuge and an area with tables to take a break and enjoy this wonderful place.
