And less than 1 km from the rural house El Paraje de Chircales is placed the Hermitage of Chircales, in an area of abundant vegetation and soft temperatures thanks to the birth of water next to the hermitage. It is also of interest the Mirador de Navalayegua, a beautiful balcony of the Sierra at 1,500 meters high.
Both the Chircales and Valdepeñas de Jaén are in an area of abundant water, which allows for great agricultural activity. Several are the streams that pass through the town and near the rural house, such as the Arroyo de Los Portillos or that of the Parras, both tributaries of the Rio de la Ranera, which also runs close to the accommodation.
