History

According to legend, the story of the shrine began in the 13th century when the image of Mary appeared upon an oak tree. Since the belief of the local people was not strong enough, the Virgin left an additional sign of her presence by making a miraculous spring appear. The spring is still known as the Fuente de la Virgen, Spring of the Virgin. At that time, the shrine constituted only a hermitage, the Casa de la Virgin. The sanctuary and convent were added at a later date by Carmelite monks. The complex suffered during the uncertainty of the 19th century when the monks were forced to leave. After their second departure in 1835, they never returned. The convent was abandoned for decades. In 1902, it was sold to the Augustinian Order which has remained in residence ever since.
