Country chapel of Our Lady of Escarihuela
Tradition has it that there was once a terrible epidemic in the area and the locals from Ronda, who had heard about the miracles that this Virgin from Montejaque had done, asked the inhabitants from the village to celebrate a procession around the town with the Virgin so that she would work a miracle in Ronda.
According to accounts, the weight of the image increased the further away the locals took it bear the weight, and had to return to the village. However, their efforts had not been in vain. A message was received the following day saying that the epidemic had started to lose its strength and that people were no longer dying.
