16th Century Shrine of La Virgen Dela Pena


Beautiful Artifacts on Display.
Shrine where flowers are left and for so many Euros you can light a fake candle in the box which you can see to the left of the shrine.  There is a legend about how a bird of some kind lead two shepard boys to safety.  Also a image of the virgin was found in the a recess of a tower. There are several different stories as I was trying to research more about this place so not sure what is the correct info.
Shrine and display set in this cavern that sits next to the cliff that overlooks the Mediterranian Coast.  Enjoy the pictures because I guess you weren't suppose to take pictures in this religious shrine but of course no one was there when we walked in so I was snapping away!
