The hermitage is open to the public every year from May 1 until the celebration of the pilgrimage in honor of the Patron Saint of Coín, on the first weekend of June.

Nestled in a steep alcarria overlooking the Pereila river, the hermitage's surroundings are one of the most beautiful places in the Coín countryside. The primitive hermitage of Nuestra Señora De la Fuensanta dates from the 16th century. The current one was built in the 17th century, undergoing different reforms over time.

The decorative beauty of the main chapel stands out, covered by a dome studded with decorative plasterwork in the Baroque style. Under it the altar, conceived as an open dressing room and dated in the s. XVIII whose author was the teacher José de Medina. The dressing room has a staircase that surrounds the altar, so that the faithful can approach the image.

It is worth highlighting the sacristy, the place where the spring is located, as well as the cave where the image of the Virgin was found.

Legend has it that the image of the Virgen de la Fuensanta was found by a shepherd in the place where the sacristy of the sanctuary is currently located.

It is a small image from the late Gothic period and 11cm high, possibly the smallest image intended for worship in Spain. It is believed that its reduced size is due to the fact that it is an arzonera image. These types of images were those that the knights wore on or carved on the saddle.

Residence of the Virgen de la Fuensanta during the month of May, it is a point of attraction and visits all year round due to the magic of the place and its surroundings, where we can enjoy old mills, powered by the Pereila river, the old bridge, the fountain, the cobbled road or the archaeological site of Llano de la Virgen, also declared an Asset of Cultural Interest (BIC)

The pilgrimage takes place on the first weekend of June, where hundreds of people from Coín and residents of other towns participate in this festival of exaltation of faith towards the Virgen de la Fuensanta.
