Choosing La Virgen De La Vega allows you to combine different interests: the Baroque Santuario Virgen de la Vega, hiking trails along the Río Alcalá, an annual festival, and El Castillejo golf course. To plan your stay, first decide whether architecture, riverside scenery, hiking, a festival date, or golf should shape your visit.
The Sanctuary and Festival Days
The Santuario Virgen de la Vega is a Baroque building erected by master builder Juan Escuder in 1751. It has three naves, and its vaults are decorated with murals. These features offer several architectural points of interest: its period of construction, the layout of the church interior, and the decoration of the vaults. The Sendero Local 4: San Miguel starts at the Santuario de la Virgen de la Vega. The sanctuary is therefore also a specific starting point for finding your way along this route.
The main festival in honor of the Virgen de la Vega takes place every year from September 7 to 10. If you want to plan your trip around this period, check that year's program separately. This makes it possible to distinguish the annual festival dates from the details of the current program.
Hiking along the Río Alcalá
The entire Senda Fluvial Río Alcalá can be hiked from La Virgen De La Vega. The trail descends along the riverbank, passing through several gardens and a dense riverside forest. This route focuses on the riverside landscape. At Cascada del Molino, swimming is possible in the pool below the weir. Check local conditions before swimming, and check current route conditions and access before setting out.
The PR-TE 26 connects La Virgen De La Vega with Cabra de Mora and follows the Río Alcalá. A route description published in 2026 takes hikers through the narrow Cañón del río Alcalá, with walkways, steps, and handrails. The PR-TE 26 starts in La Virgen De La Vega beside Hotel La Vega. The Senda Fluvial is described by its course along the riverbank, through gardens and riverside forest; the PR-TE 26 is distinguished by the connection between the two places and the canyon passage.
Other interests for your stay
El Castillejo is a golf course in La Virgen De La Vega. Check current opening and booking options before visiting. Together with the sanctuary, festival days, and hiking routes, this gives you a range of different reasons to travel, without every activity having the same focus.
You can then search for hotels in La Virgen De La Vega using your travel dates. Those interested in the sanctuary can explore specific architectural features, including its construction date, three-nave layout, and painted vaults; those who prefer hiking can distinguish between the described river and canyon trails by their respective routes.
