It is a temple of small dimensions and harmonious architecture, a plant in the form of a Latin cross and shrimp for the patron, built in 1910.
The hermitage of the Virgin of Fuensanta, located in the heart of Sierra Magina, has always been an isolated place. It was even more so in past centuries when only roads and paths could be accessed. This, together with its sacred character, made this hermitage an ideal place for the withdrawal of those who in search of God, abandoned their social environment.

We suggest...
The Tranco road is usually quite busy on dates of greater tourist influx, so, if you really want to enjoy the landscape, do not agree to look at it from the car and stop for a while at the dam or at some viewpoint, as usual. Our advice is: walk. On the right bank, you have several forest tracks, as well as the circular signposted path PR-A 149, which begins very close to the village of Fuente la Higuera. On the left, there are two signposted paths: the PR-A 193, which starts 1.1 km from the Tranco dam to the north, and a stretch of the GR-144, which is taken halfway between the Hornos de Segura and Cañada Morales, in a pronounced curve. In addition, in the environment of the reservoir you will not find many earrings.
It is one of the largest reservoirs in Spain and is a first-class landscape resource in the Natural Park, so its entire environment is especially protected as the Bujaraiza Reserve Area. The left bank is on the A-319 road, and has various viewpoints, recreational areas, signposted trails and accommodation and restoration services, as well as water sports facilities. The right margin is mostly passed through forest tracks and roads. In its beginning (southern part) has several views of the Félix Rodríguez de la Fuente route.
An English stage, ideal for facing tents and barbs above the kilo.It therefore requires a reel and a certain distance to deceive its untrustworthy fish, which usually enter into fine, half-water, and with continuous barley of spice. A very sophisticated plug is also used, with elastic to the third, fourth or fifth tranche, or the bologna in case this technique is dominated.
From this viewpoint you can see a beautiful landscape, in which rounded lomas occur with adhesitated extensions around the Jandula reservoir. The effect of the soil reflections on the packaged waters provides a beautiful picture. It is curious to see the clear line that borders the banks of the loins, which suggests how far the water level reaches in rainy times. The reservoir contains species such as black-bass, tent and barb. And next to them, a fish that is only found in these waters and tributaries of the Jandula, called Bogardilla. An ideal time to visit this viewpoint is the autumn, when deer will give us the sound show of the berrea. And with a little luck, we can contemplate the struggle of the males, horn against horn, on their arduous path to reproduction.
The useful capacity of the reservoir is 163 hm ³, although its total capacity is 175 hm ³ this is reduced due to the filling of sediments in the background.
Its main tributary is the Guadalén River, which is born to the south of the Montiel Field and crosses Sierra Morena, also highlighting the contribution of the Dañador and Montizón rivers to the main tributary.
Other smaller tributaries that pour their waters on the swamp, or on the Guadalén River before being repressed, are the streams of Galapagar, Oilla, the Navas, the Herrerías and Madriscal, among others.
It was built between 1946 and 1954, and opened in April 1953, as an infrastructure for the irrigation of the surrounding lands, within the general plans for the colonization of Franco.
