The Church (Hermitage) of Santa Eulalia, located in the Santa Eulalia Colony, between Sax and Villena (Alicante, Alto Vinalopó). It forms part of an agricultural colony built in the late 19th century, declared a Site of Cultural Interest (ethnological) in 2016. It is situated in an area between Sax and Villena, near the Acequia del Rey irrigation canal and the Vinalopó River. The hermitage is located in one of the colony's two main squares, surrounded by houses, factories (flour and alcohol), a theater, a casino, and a train station. The current hermitage was built in 1891, on the site of an earlier medieval one, commissioned by the Count of Alcudia (Antonio de Padúa Saavedra). It is a simple rectangular building with a double-arched bell gable built around 1900; each arch housed bells on its lower level.

October 29, 2025, Ermita de San Blas

The Ermita de San Blas in Sax is a small, historic chapel located in the heart of the old town, directly below the castle. It was probably built in the 13th or 14th century and is one of the typical "Ermitas de Reconquista" (reconquest hermitages) built after the Christian reconquest. The building has a simple rectangular floor plan with a later addition of a semicircular chancel and a baroque bell tower above the entrance. The statue of Saint Blas, the patron saint of the town, is venerated inside. The chapel continues to play a central role in the religious and cultural life of Sax. Of particular importance is the annual "Cabildo de San Blas" on December 26th, a traditional gathering that marks the beginning of the patron saint's festivities. In addition, masses are regularly held in honor of the saint. With its historic architecture and picturesque location below the castle, the Ermita de San Blas is an important symbol of Sax's identity and a worthwhile destination for visitors interested in culture.

Take a torch for the tunnels, 3 are long and very dark. Beautiful views right down to the coast around Alicante.

You definitely need a decent light for this tunnel! Two other tunnels along this section also are long enough to be pitch black in the middle. The tunnels are concreted so the surface is good with no lumps or bumps. My wife’s electric bike has almost a cars headlight but even with that she said she got disoriented. It’s panic mode without a decent light. Note also that some tunnels have a very high kerb along one side, if you hit one you’ll be on the deck, so beware.

Built in 1806 and restored in 1947. Building made of masonry, it is a neoclassical jewel. On the façade, near the corners, two fluted pilasters support the entablature and a triangular pediment with a round oculus.
