Chapel of Castañuelo
The Ermita del Castañuelo is the same as the Cruz del Chorrillo in that it has a round floor layout, and is completely made out of stone with a dome at the top to finish it off. It had a special altar with a cross, which was known as the Castañuelo and was as loved by the local people as the Cruz del Chorrillo, who were devoted to them both.
The name of this shrine is due to the fact that the farm where it is built is called the Finca del Castañuelo. It is located just over the old road that connected the town of Estepona with Jubrique.
This chapel, of Arab origin, was converted in honor of the Holy Cross, which the citizens of this town feel great devotion.
