Entrepeñas
Entrepeñas is a Spanish embalse in the province of Guadalajara, that we visited on a campervaning trip on 6-8 May (2022).
Ermita colgada
We arrived Friday evening on the best and quietest possible viewpoint on the embalse, namely, la Ermita del Madroñal, a XVIIth century hermitage. Its name comes from the fact that the Virgen's image kept appearing in a Madroño until the ermita was built on this spot... at which points all apparitions and other miracles ceased, which makes you wonder why the construction was even undertaken in the first place. It is perched on the flanks of the embalse and offers wonderful
Auñon
The village appears to be connected to the Ermita, so we stopped by. After a quick tour, we met a local who told us about the desertification of the place and how this was a pithy, because of how great it was, in particular recommending very strongly that we visit the swimming pool. The church still has a mention of the caidos por Dios y por España, that most other places have removed.
