The origins of the devotion of the Virgin of Narrow they get lost in the legend, and his history is somewhat scarce and late. The first one in dealing with her was, in 1715, Brother Miguel of Varona who, in his "Record of the house of Varona de Villanañe", narrates the miraculous find, happened on April 25, 1089 to shepherd Hernando Martín, of an image of the virgin in the concavity or "the narrow thing" of a rock, surrounded by the waters of a cave.

The monastery of Narrow is an excellent closing of the trip for Valdegovía, plenary meeting of medieval flavor. The original temple, which was extended in the XIXth century, is of Gothic style, it has only one ship and a rectangular apse. It was constructed in the first half of the XIVth and beautiful romanist is provided with a reredos and of big merit.

Opposite to the monastery, in the environment to the centenary holm oak juradera finds a dense woodland.
