It is recommended to include the hermitage in a walking itinerary through the historic center, combining the visit with the main square, the Church of San Miguel, and other religious buildings in the municipality. Visitors should respect the religious character of the site, remain quiet during worship activities, and avoid obstructing access for local residents.
