The Route of Faces

Whether it is after a fun day full of activities for company or emotionally charged bachelorette party, the best thing is to relax and enjoy Buendía surroundings (in Multiaventura Buendía location).

For example: you can explore the shore of the Buendía water reservoir, the place of "The Peninsula", full of pine trees and abundant sandstone rock. In this area you can find numerous sculpted faces: "The Nun", "The Beethoven of Buendía", "The Shaman", "The Swamp of Damadel”...

Stone world that creates a mystical atmosphere. You will need approximately an hour to do this whole journey on foot. You can also reach this area by car. It takes 5 minutes (4km of distance) from Buendía, through an easily accessible track.

The landscape is formed by olives and croplands; in the sculpture areas, the cultivated land turns into pine trees and sand rocks.

Sickles of Guadiela

Another place of interest and popular devotion site is the chapel of Our Lady of the Abandoned.

This chapel was built in the sixteenth and seventeenth century, twelve kilometres from Buendía, at the end of the Guadiela river mouth. This place was known as the mill of Bolarque (Arabic origin), being for years the subject of dispute between the Lara and Castro families.

King Alfonso VIII sanctioned the property. Formerly, it was a place where Buendía residents spent a few days of rest. In the houses of the Brotherhood of Our Lady entire families stayed. Today one can only find a priest house, a font, a courtyard and a chapel, because the Bolarque waters flooded the entire valley.
