Hermitages

HERMITAGE OF MARIA AUXILIADORA

The hermitage is located in the Puerto de la Encina which is a district of Osuna at only 15km from the south of the town. It has 334 inhabitants.

The hermitage of María Auxiliadora is located on a municipal plot of land at the confluence of Levante and Llana streets of the small village of Puerto de la Encina. It is a small building and the plot of land in which it was built turned into a public square.

HERMITAGE OF NTRA. SRA. DE CONSOLACIÓN DEL CALVARIO

The first pilgrimage of our times was in 1988 with a multitude of pilgrims, but it was officially approved in 1996. Since then, the pilgrimage is taken to a land called El Calvario which receives this name because of its location next to the mount and the ruins of the ancient convent with the same name. The enclosure is located 8km awayfrom Osuna in the local road of Los Corrales towards Martín de la Jara. In that place the hermitage was built during the nineties and it is interesting to know that the first funds were raised thanks to the raffle of a watermelon in a former pilgrimage.
