The origin of this Sanctuary, located at 1,180 meters above sea level, dates back to September 8, 1575, the date on which the first miracle took place on the site where an old chapel stood. It is the second most important Sanctuary in Asturias, and the one with the most tradition and veneration in the entire region.

Awesome. Some highly recommended and wonderful views from above. It is sooooo worth it to go up to see it and enjoy the panoramic view of the entire region. Highly recommended.

100% recommended excursion, after a steep climb we arrive at a Romanesque sanctuary where spectacular views of the Narcea valley await us.

The views are amazing with multiple mountains and valleys in all directions. It has to be nice with all kinds of clouds except for a closed fog. The bad road, curvy and somewhat narrow.

Temple of Edfu

The Temple of Edfu is one of the best preserved ancient shrines in Egypt. It was built in the Ptolemaic Kingdom between 237 and 57 BC.

Edfu was one of several temples built during the Ptolemaic Kingdom, including the Dendera Temple complex, Esna, the Temple of Kom Ombo, and Philae. Its size reflects the relative prosperity of the time. The present temple initially consisted of a pillared hall, two transverse halls, and a barque sanctuary surrounded by chapels. The building was started during the reign of Ptolemy III Euergetes and completed in 57 BC under Ptolemy XII Auletes. It was built on the site of an earlier, smaller temple also dedicated to Horus, although the previous structure was oriented east–west rather than north–south as in the present site.
