La población de Villas Viejas está despoblada, pero la iglesia es destino de una romería anual.

"El vicepresidente primero del Gobierno de Castilla-La Mancha, José Luis Martínez Guijarro, ha mostrado su apoyo a la declaración de la Romería de la Virgen de la Encarnación, en El Hito (Cuenca), como Fiesta de Interés Turístico Regional, después de que el Ayuntamiento de la localidad haya iniciado el expediente para tal fin.

Martínez Guijarro, que ha asistido hoy a la llegada de la imagen de la patrona a Villas Viejas y la subida al cerro donde los fieles cantan la salve antes de volver a bajar hasta la ermita junto al alcalde de la localidad, Raúl López, ha destacado que “espero que podamos culminarlo lo antes posible”.
