Wise Pilgrim APP

The Santuario del Buen Suceso is a modest roadside sanctuary dedicated to the Virgen del Buen Suceso, a popular devotion in the Gordón valley. The chapel sits in a pleasant spot between the villages and makes a natural rest point. The bar that once operated here appears to have closed, but is reportedly looking for a new owner. If you find it open, kindly leave a comment to let other pilgrims know.

History:

The sanctuary has served as a waypoint for travelers crossing the Gordón valley for centuries. The devotion to the Virgen del Buen Suceso (Our Lady of Good Fortune) was common across northern Spain, particularly at sites where travelers sought protection before entering mountainous terrain.
