O atrakciji
Brze činjenice: Plave i bijele kupole ove crkve napravljene su od hiljada ručno oslikanih keramičkih pločica koje svjetlucaju pod mediteranskim suncem. Njena izgradnja trajala je skoro 70 godina od početka 20. stoljeća, a lokalni ribari i farmeri doprinosili su pločicama koje su sami izrađivali.
Istaknuto: Unutra, drveni oltar je izrezao lokalni kipar po imenu Miguel Box koristeći drvo sa jednog starog maslinovog drveta starog 400 godina. Tokom godišnjeg festivala Moros y Cristianos u aprilu, crkva postaje dramatična pozadina za lažne bitke sa preko 500 kostimiranih učesnika koji marširaju kroz uske bijele ulice.
Insajderski savjeti
- Arrive by 9 AM to have the plaza almost entirely to yourself before tour groups arrive from nearby Benidorm.
- The best photo angle is from the narrow street Calle del Museo, which frames the domes between white houses.
- Skip the small parking lots near the church and use the free lot at the base of the hill by the port.
- Visit during a weekday in May or October for pleasant weather and far fewer visitors than summer.
