La Santa

The Sanctuary of Santa Eulalia de Mérida, "La Santa", is located seven kilometers from the city of Totana. It is accessed by a road that crosses the orchards of this municipality, a place in which orange, lemon, almond and flowers offer a show of special fragrance.

Continue this road among perfumes of pines, rosemary and thyme to enter the foothills of Sierra Espuña, where the architectural ensemble of "La Santa" emerges in harmony with nature. From there you can reach the medieval town of Aledo by a road that is also surrounded by soft Mediterranean vegetation.

In this Sanctuary the image of Santa Eulalia de Mérida, patron saint of Totana since 1644, is venerated. This devotion goes beyond the limits of the city to extend to other points of the Region of Murcia, as well as other regions, from where pilgrims and devotees arrive. .

They were santiaguistas gentlemen those who brought devotion to Santa Eulalia to Totana, since these lands were donated by Alfonso X El Sabio in 1257 to the Military Order of Santiago and his master Pelay Perez Correa, a character linked to the city of Merida.
