Ermita de San José

Highlight • Religious Site

The Hermitage of San José in Busot is an 18th-century church. It is distinguished by its Latin cross floor plan and thoughtful architecture. With a three-part nave and chapels between the buttresses, this hermitage is connected at one end to the sacristy and the former hermit's house.

Particularly striking features of this hermitage are the polygonal facade with a flat-arched portal, a niche with a relief of San José, and a round oculus that illuminates the interior.

This building regularly serves as the site for important events for the community, such as the floral offering to the patron saint during the Moors and Christians festival and the Three Kings' procession on January 5th.

It is thus a church steeped in symbolism and tradition…

Niña Leyendo Sculpture

Highlight • Monument

Interesting sculpture that fits perfectly with the place where it is located. It is a work by the sculptor and artist VICENTE FERRERO, who has created female figures resting on the beach such as the Torso, "Niña leyendo" and La Bañista, which fit perfectly into the environment.

With a book in her hand and looking out to sea. If you look around a bit, there are more of these sculptures in the surrounding area. Title Artist's work "Niña leyendo" (Girl reading).

View from Illeta Tower

Highlight • Viewpoint

Very nice place near the port of El Campello. Worth a detour. You can't miss the tower. Down by the port there are restaurants where you can sit by the water or the dock.

The Torre de la Illeta in El Campello is a historic watchtower from the 16th century. It was built to protect the coast from pirate attacks, especially from raids by the Barbary pirates from North Africa. The tower is located on a small peninsula near the archaeological site "La Illeta dels Banyets", where remains from the Bronze Age, the Iberians and the Romans have been found.

El Campello has a lot to offer and there is a lot to discover. A worthwhile destination for a tour or a little detour from the main route.

El Campello Marina

Highlight • Structure

You can drive there directly at the harbor basin, there are restaurants that invite you to take a break. Along the harbor wall you come to a viewing point, there is a small pier there. A very beautiful harbor that you can access from one side directly from the promenade or via the parking lot past the barrier.
