The great presence of limestone and the karmic effects make our province abundant the caves and coats that served as a home for those who lived these lands thousands of years ago. The Cueva de la Graja is an example of this; this rocky coat located at the north end of the Aznaitín at 750 meters high houses rock art manifestations with an age of 2000 to 5000 years before our age. The cave can be visited by requesting it previously in the City of Jimena.

The site of the first archaeological remains dated from the Neolithic (4000 BC) in the town of La Guardia de Jaén. It was later used by the local inhabitants as a guard and poultry for the cattle from which it comes its current name: Cueva Cabrera.

On a blackened wall there is a red stain that can be a rock painting (cave paintings of the Cabrera Cave).

This convent is very linked to Our Lady of Hope, as we can see below. Often, when we hear about Our Lady of Hope, we automatically associate her with Seville and her Holy Week. However, one thing that many people are not aware of is that its origin is located in the province of Jaén, specifically in the region of Sierra Magina, according to some studies and the finding of a document, image of the left, of great importance on this subject. With the transcription that is presented we intend to see how in the toponymy of the convent of Cazalla a reference to the Virgin Macarena appears, in the year 1749, coinciding with the epoch of the highest splendor of the Order of the Basilios, as well as the Cadastre of the Marquis of the Ensenada. This report, which refers to a guide to the transport of cattle, is the only document found in the municipal archive, so far, where it is confirmed something that supports previous studies, such as that published by Rafael Ortega and Sagrista, "The Monastery of Our Lady of Hope, in the cazalla, belonging to the order of San Basilio Magno," where the origin of such a Marian advocation, the famous Virgin Esperanza Macarena of Seville, is determined in these places. What seems to be fully observed is that the diffuse center of the Basil monks in Andalusia comes from the region of Sierra Mágina, in particular Mata-Begid and the said Cazalla Convent, as Vicente Oya shows, to see the website www.camorl.iesata.es, or the book by Hilario Arenas González "La Macarena de Sevilla."
With this small review, we are only trying to make known an interesting line of research that we are now in the process of developing.

Its northwest face belongs to Jaén and is a private mountain, with a repopulation pine. Its southeast face belongs to La Guardia and corresponds to a mountain of oak and low mountain, very altered by man's hand. In spite of this, it has the attraction of the rise to the hill on the "old road," the visit to the Cabrera Cave (whose neolithic vestiges have just passed into history by burning the entire cave) and the arrival in the recreational area of the Allanadas del Santo. It has the Hermitage of San Sebastián (pattern of La Guardia), tables, barbecues, a small football field and one of the seven geodetic vertices of the municipality of Jaén. This one with the appeal of being placed at the top of a pillar about five meters high, with a ladder to be able to climb.
