Summary

For centuries the sanctuary of the "Bien Aparecida" (the Well Appeared Virgin - current patron of the Autonomous Community of Cantabria), has been a sacred space with a specific territory of grace, that periodically brings about the visits of numerous pilgrims who come to this metaphysical place to make their devotions explicit by means of offers, promises, etc. The Virgin acts in a sacred manner, endowed as she is with a power of intermediation and divine grace, under the tutelage of which are located families, communities and individuals, all united by a single system of practices and beliefs, through which they establish their interactions with the universe of super natural values.
