Just a short distance north of Olvera is the village of Pruna.
Driving through the village and then taking the road to Algamitas for approximately 4kms brings you to the the Ermita de Navazo, in a prominent position overlooking Pruna and the landscape beyond.
The Ermita was built in 1968 and is the focus of the "Pilgrimage of the Pure and Clean Conception" on the first Sunday of May each year, when hundreds of the inhabitants of Pruna dressed in traditional spanish costumes and carrying a Holy Image, sing and dance in a procession to the site.
The inside of the Ermita from the front door, which unfortunately was closed and locked.
The views from the Ermita are fantastic. The picture right looks toward Olvera with Pruna castle in the foreground.
Looking down upon Pruna.
