La Cañadilla is a small town
located at an altitude of 1220 metres on the
road from Aliaga to Ejulve.
Its population has gradually declined with
the passing of time and today it has only 4
inhabitants compared to the 25 children who
used to go to school there in the 50’s.
The hermitage church of San José
is one of its main buildings. A pilgrimage takes
place there on Easter Sunday in which the local
people of Cirugeda also take part.
On the outskirts of the town we come across
a spring with a washing area known as the Fuente
del Camino; a unique pine tree, the
Pino de Cobatillas, which is
45 minutes further on in the direction of Cirugeda,
and the Cruz de los Helados
commemorating the tragic death of three townspeople
during the winter of 1941. They froze to death
after getting lost in a windstorm.
