Was it faith, a miracle, or simply the unpredictable whims of the sea? Here, before the Virgen del Camino, that question hangs in the air. This small sanctuary, nestled near Lobería, holds a story as captivating as any ocean voyage. In 1941, the land where the Virgen del Camino stands belonged to María Esther Calisé and her husband. He fell gravely ill. A family member, desperate for a miracle, slipped a small image of the Virgen de Luján under his pillow. He began to recover. Filled with gratitude, the Calisé family decided to erect a statue of the Virgin on their land. They received the blessing of the church, and the Armada Argentina donated the statue at Mr. Calisé’s request. The small sanctuary of the Virgen del Camino was inaugurated on October 5, 1943. A procession led by Father Vicente Alonso, the parish priest of Lobería, and numerous townspeople, wound its way to the newly built grotto. The Virgen del Camino quickly became a beacon of hope for travelers. In 1944, she was declared the patron saint of Argentine roads. Travelers passing by would stop to pray for her protection. The Virgen del Camino became a beloved symbol of Lobería. Her presence marks not just a place of worship but a point of arrival, a promise of safe passage.
