Ermita de la Virgen del Valle, Toledo

To get to the little chapel called the Ermita de la Virgen del Valle you have to take the Carretera del Valle road past all the pretty country houses on the banks of the river that offers lovely views of the surrounding countryside. The building itself is nothing special as it has suffered numerous attempts at improvement throughout the 20th century. However, the lively pilgrimage that takes place on 1st May reflects the intense devotion shown to the statue of the Virgin inside. The interior contains a collection of valuable tiled panels with Neo-Plateresque motifs and some valuable ceramics. Open to the public on 1st May only.
