Hermitage of San Benito, from the 17th century, which still conserves elements of interest. The structure has a single nave, very wide, with a blinded masonry doorway. It is divided by three semicircular arches on corbels with a wooden gabled roof and an apse with a shell vault decorated with paintings in the Baroque style. At the foot there is a wooden choir on granite columns. The adjoining courtyard once housed the municipal cemetery. It is only open on the days of San Benito Mojado (21 March) and San Benito Seco (11 July). Arrange a visit +34924760861
