[ES] “Esta peculiar Ermita, situada en el paraje de Las Laderas de El Boalo, en un entorno único y envidiable, rodeada de magníficos paisajes con impresionantes vistas de la Sierra de Guadarrama, fue levantada, durante las décadas de los años 80 y 90, gracias al trabajo generoso de los vecinos de la localidad con mampostería de granito de la zona.

Es el reflejo de la devoción que los habitantes de El Boalo profesan a San Isidro como Patrón por excelencia de los ganaderos y agricultores, gremio a los que pertenecían la inmensa mayoría de sus habitantes antiguamente.

Al pie de la significativa Peña Mediodía, y junto al área recreativa del mismo nombre, se celebra la Romería tradicional en honor al Santo, el 15 de mayo, concita la participación de vecinos y visitantes en un día de campo presidido por la hospitalidad y la fiesta.”
