Ermita del Cristo del Caloco

The Ermita del Cristo del Caloco stands at the foot of Cerro del Caloco hill, featuring a simple stone structure with traditional Spanish religious architecture.

Built over an 11th-century Romanesque church, the hermitage became the center of a brotherhood established in 1529 under the title of Santa María del Caloco.

The hermitage holds two significant religious artworks: a Baroque representation of Cristo del Caloco and a 16th-century image of Inmaculada Santa María del Caloco.

Located 5 kilometers from El Espinar's center near the N-VI highway, the hermitage maintains regular visiting hours and hosts religious services throughout the year.

The hermitage served as a filming location for the 1955 Spanish cinema classic 'Marcelino pan y vino' directed by Ladislao Vajda.
