The hermitage of the Virgen del Camino, popularly known as “La Caminanta”, is a small Renaissance chapel located at the exit of the Puente de Medina in Arévalo, at a crossroads that includes the route of the Camino de Santiago from the Levante. Founded in 1530 by Miguel Sánchez de Arévalo, the temple has a rectangular plan and is made of masonry with granite ashlar corners. Inside is the image of the Virgen del Camino, patron saint of the entrance to the city. Every June, a traditional pilgrimage is held in honor of the Virgin, a commemoration that dates back to the 16th century, although it had a hiatus until it was resumed in 1928. In 2005, for the first time, the male confraternity in charge of the organization allowed women to participate.
