La Flor Hermitage
In the Piedracea area, just two kilometers from Pola de Lena, stands the Hermitage of Our Lady of the Flower, a temple that is a symbol of the identity and devotion of the municipality of Lena. Built at the end of the 15th century, the hermitage features simple and harmonious architecture, with a portico supported by fine wooden columns and a pointed arched entrance with decorated voussoirs. A plaque on its façade refers to its construction by Martinus Alfonsus. Over the centuries, the hermitage has been a reference point for local residents, even serving as a sound guide on foggy days thanks to the ringing of its bells. Devotion to Our Lady of the Flower dates back to the 15th century, when the Benedictines promoted this Marian devotion in the area. Since then, the hermitage has been a center of pilgrimage and the setting for the traditional Flower Festival, celebrated on the second Monday after Easter Monday. During this pilgrimage, pilgrims, dressed in traditional costumes, walk up the Camín Real (Royal Way) to the meadow where the hermitage is located, accompanying the Virgin in procession to the sound of bagpipes and drums. The festive day is rounded off with the tasting of traditional dishes such as bollu preñáu (pregnant bun), empanada (empanada), and cider. The Hermitage of the Flower is not only a place of worship but also a space steeped in legends and traditions. One of the best-known tells of how, during the construction of the hermitage, the beams left in one place were mysteriously moved at night to the meadow where the church was finally erected, a fact interpreted as a divine plan. Today, the Hermitage of Our Lady of the Flower remains a place of encounter and spirituality, where history, faith, and culture intertwine, keeping alive a tradition that has endured for more than five centuries.
