We owe practically everything we know about Santa Áurea to the book. Poem or Life of Saint Oriaby the writer and monk Gonzalo de Berceo, one of the most important poets of the Middle Ages.
Áurea was born in the year 1043 in Villavelayo, a small town in La Rioja.. At just 9 years old, in the year 1052, he secluded himself in the monastery of San Millán de Suso, where he remained until his death.
Even though she was a child, she claimed that her favorite saints had appeared to her. She also had several appearances as an adult.
Tradition assures that, at 25 years old, She practiced miracles and many people came to her for advice and favors.. He died on March 11, 1070, at only 27 years old, a victim of an unknown “deadly disease.”
She was buried in a cave behind the Monastery of Suso, but centuries later she was moved to a hermitage that bears her name, in her hometown, Villavelayo.
