What to see and do in Baterno

Baterno
Village
Municipality of 231 inhabitants (2025) at 561 m altitude. Founded in the 16th century as a village of the Estado de Capilla, from which it separated in the 18th century. It preserves the church of San Andrés Apóstol (1557) and the 18th-century hermitage of Nuestra Señora de la Soledad del Fuego.
Día de los Quintos (Baterno)
Activity
On Easter Saturday, young people who have just come of age fell a pine tree, plant it in the square, and bring it down the following day, in a local tradition known as the Día de los Quintos (Day of the Conscripts).
Iglesia de San Andrés Apóstol
Monument
Small whitewashed parish church, built in 1557, belonging to the archdiocese of Toledo (Baterno remained ecclesiastically dependent on Toledo well into the 20th century, which explains why many old maps showed it as part of Castilla la Nueva rather than Extremadura).
Ermita de Nuestra Señora de la Soledad del Fuego
Monument
18th-century hermitage located on the outskirts of Baterno, dedicated to the Virgen del Fuego. The title recalls the legend of a fire in a Madrid bakery oven in 1672 that was stopped, according to tradition, by the Virgin's intercession.
Fiestas de la Virgen del Fuego
Activity
Patron saint festivities of Baterno in honor of Nuestra Señora del Fuego, held since 1701 and lasting about five days.
