Shrine of Nuestra Señora de Chilla

Monument · Candeleda, Arenas de San Pedro, Ávila

Image of Candeleda, not of the place itself.

The sanctuary of the patron saint hides seven kilometres from the village, up the hill, among oak and chestnut woods. Tradition places there the apparition of the Virgin to a shepherd named Finardo, and the pilgrimage festival climbs up to it every September.
