The boss of Peak of Towers is the Virgin of the Tears, name started to a bust of the Virgin that according to it counts:

It cried at a garden one of Peak of towers, on August 8 of 1706, and after the visit of the bishop of Cartagena, Luis Belluga, he proceeded to verify that that one was true before a notary and district attorney of the episcopate. In the end, in the Pastoral one it ends: "... we declare for the miraculous above mentioned tears, and perspiration, and worship prayer and cult deigns of the Sacred Relic of the Tablecloths, where it covered the perspiration and the tears".
The image has been in the cathedral of Murcia for 289 years, up to on October 16, 1995 that was taken again to the parish, that was constructed in the place of the chapel that existed formerly.

The name of Peak of Towers comes from peak: hillock of ground slightly high, and of the surname of D. Juan Torres, progenitor of those who were Marquesses of the Crown and who inherited thirteen tahúllas in the Alfandarín payment. While Peak of Towers is his name officially and the only one used at present, although according to some authors, perhaps the first name that it was receiving was a Fluke peak ("peak é fluke" according to ancient sources in panocho) since Fluke was recounting to a region consisted of several nuclei. It has happened for to call him the Piece of news a Fluke because nearly one ditch like that was happening called the old woman separated it from that of fluke, everything this one place also was known by peak of the Friars to beginning of the XVIIth century. And Peak of the Saint is almost with complete certainty due to the miracle of the virgin, demonstrated by the bishop of the epoch after the process carried out by him.
