Image of Miguel Esteban, not of the place itself.

The ermita of San Isidro rises on a hill in Miguel Esteban with views over the site of Los Charcones, a bird reserve formed by nearby lagoons. With a rectangular plan covered by a gabled roof, it has at its head three round arches on pilasters and an outer portico running along the front and sides, topped by a small bell gable on the facade. In 1999, as part of the Proyecto Integral Charcones-Ermita promoted by the town council, students from a training school rebuilt the building and also raised four windmills along the hill to recreate a Cervantine scene that, in fact, never existed in this location. The ermita, dedicated to the patron saint of farmers, is one of the most cherished religious elements in the municipality.
