They are located in Valdegovía (Álava). The most well-known ones are in the towns of Pinedo, Corro and Tobillas.

The hermits, Christians who search for solitude in secluded places, lived in areas which they themselves had dug into the rock.

There are three types of hermit caves, according to their use: the temple cave, the room cave and the necropolis cave.
