Peña de Arias Montano

High above Alájar, this rocky spur provides magical views over the village. The site takes its name from remarkable 16th-century polymath and humanist Benito Arias Montano, who repeatedly visited this spot for retreat and meditation. The peña’s 16th-century chapel, the Ermita de Nuestra Señora Reina de los Ángeles, is an important local pilgrimage site.
