It is worth visiting the hermitage of Santa María de la Hoz, in the town of Tobera. To do this, we will cross a medieval bridge of Roman origin that spans the Molinar riverbed. The temple, almost embedded in a large rock, dates from the 13th century, features both Romanesque and Gothic elements, and has a portico with arches that offers good views of the surroundings. At its feet stands a second, tiny hermitage from a later date – the 17th century – which houses an altar dedicated to the Cristo de los Remedios.

The Hermitage of Our Lady of the Sickle is nestled beneath the cliff, reached by crossing the small bridge over the Molinar River. Dating from the 13th century, it features both Romanesque and Gothic elements and has an arched portico offering fine views of the surrounding area. At its base stands a second, much smaller hermitage, dating from the 17th century, which houses an altar dedicated to Christ of the Remedies.
