La Mata de Monteagudo

La Mata de Monteagudo is near the 17th-century Sanctuary of Nuestra Senora de La Velilla, established as a pilgrimage site in honor of the Virgin's miracles. The sanctuary has a Santiago Matamoros on one end of the building. It's a pleasant spot even if the sanctuary isn't open.

Hotel la Velilla may offer accommodation here, which would break the Puente Almuhey to Cistierna stage roughly in half, leaving the mountain ascent for fresh legs in the morning.
