(Translated by Google) Another temple that we saw while visiting the city. It is a Gothic temple with a single nave, with chapels between buttresses, a work from the 14th and 15th centuries. Renaissance style presbytery as well as the side doorway. Parallel to the nave is the Baroque-style Communion Chapel. The bell tower has a square plan and Gothic style, interesting is the set of gargoyles and clock from the 15th century. Inside the temple we must highlight the baptismal font and the organ. An interesting visit we made. (Original) Otra templo que vimos visitando la ciudad. Es un templo gótico de una sola nave, con capillas entre contrafuertes, obra de los S.XIV y XV. Presbiterio de estilo renacentista al igual que la portada lateral. Paralela a la nave se encuentra la Capilla de la Comunión de estilo barroco. La torre campanario es de planta cuadrada y de estilo gótico, interesante es el conjunto de gárgolas y reloj del S. XV. En el interior del templo hay que destacar la pila bautismal y el órgano. Una visita interesante la que realizamos.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful baroque style church located in the very center of Orihuela, it has an organ located at the foot of the temple, it is worth visiting. (Original) Bonita iglesia de estilo barroco situada en el mismo centro de Orihuela, posee un organo situado a los mismo pies del templo, merece la pena visitar.

(Translated by Google) Main façade of the church of Santas Justa and Rufina. It is a work of baroque style, carried out in the 18th century by the Lorca architect Antonio Villanueva, with a great influence of the master Jaime Bort, who was working on the same temple shortly before, observed for this work. The upper part of the cover is decorated with a medallion of the titular saints in a Berniniesque style. Two more were going to be placed on the sides of it, but finally the work was left unfinished. The building has an imposing Gothic bell tower decorated with pinnacles in which the clock is located, one of the oldest clocks in Spain. (Original) Fachada principal de la iglesia de las Santas Justa y Rufina. Es obra de estilo barroco, realizada en el S. XVIII por el arquitecto lorquino Antonio Villanueva, observándose para esta obra una gran influencia del maestro Jaime Bort, que estuvo trabajando en el mismo templo poco antes. La parte superior de la portada está decorada con un medallón de las santas titulares de estilo berniniesco. A los lados de la misma se iban a disponer otros dos, pero finalmente la obra quedó inacabada. El edificio posee una imponente torre campanario gótico decorada con pináculos en la que se encuentra el reloj, uno de los relojes mas antiguos de España.

This feels like a wonderful place to learn about the beautiful heritage left by the Spanish poet Hernández - a great beginning for learning about him or extending the knowledge of him for “fan boys and girls”. The staff here work tirelessly to support the visitors, answering questions and enlightening the visitors about the life of the poet and how this upbringing affected and birthed his work. They are both kind and helpful. The museum is open Sundays, but closed Mondays. Ensure to arrive at least 15 mins before closing time to be guaranteed admission. However, you should allow 30 minutes to appreciate the spaces and resources.

We walked through this museum as part of our tour. It was interesting to see how "modern" it was for that time frame.

Beautiful site with a dedicated and enthusiastic staff. Three buildings, including Miguel's house. Video was informative and an additional exhibition added to a very interesting experience. No charge......culture for all.

Lovely staff who went out of their way to make us welcome and translate everything for us. Highly recommended. No charge for entry.

Being ignorant, I knew nothing about Miguel Hernandez before visiting his house, but we found it all really interesting and the staff were lovely. Much of the information is in Spanish only, Google Translate helped in converting text to English. I've bought a secondhand book of his translated poetry since returning to the UK.

Can participate of a great experience to be able to listen to the poet in the only recording that exists of Miguel Hernández declaiming.

A great tour of the life of Miguel Hernández It is such a pity he died so young

Zenia Boulevard is a fantastic shopping experience! The mall has a great mix of shops for every taste, from fashion and homeware to electronics and gifts. The atmosphere is lively and welcoming, and the outdoor design makes it a pleasure to stroll around. The food court is excellent too, with plenty of choices to suit everyone – from quick bites to sit-down meals. A perfect place to shop, eat, and enjoy a great day out!

Fantastic shopping center lot's to do restaurants tenpin bowling 🎳 me and my lad's had a great time

Nice shopping area that have many brand stores and much else. A plus for the very nice toilets but a minus for the restaurants (a bit pricey for what you get). Of course this is friendly to wheelchairs. There are also playgrounds for kids, they seem to love the water fountain.

Call out to all UK shopping centers. Visit this place to see how a shopping centre should be run. It's spotlessly clean, shops are full and not boarded up, free parking and it's packed full of shoppers. It's a great place to shop for clothes or food. Plenty of cafes and ice cream parlours, places for kids to play. Open until late in the evening for convenience after work. I've not heard a bad thing said about Zenia Shopping Centre.

Possibly the best shopping centre there is. Plenty of shops and restaurants and loads for the kids to do..

Very good shopping centre! Plenty of variety and plenty of eating places around the top aswell! Views from the top are lovely!

a good time to spend leisure time and buy things necessary for everyday life, also a large grocery store, where you can buy many different products. A large selection of clothes from the budget option to the expensive. A large selection of shoe stores. Many good cafes and restaurants. Having arrived here you can spend whole days :)

(Translated by Google) It has two beautiful portals, especially the main one, which is in the Gothic style, with a mullion and several pointed archivolts. The other façade is framed between Solomonic columns. It has several altarpieces inside, but the one with its altar stands out. (Original) Tiene dos bonitas portadas, en especial la principal, que es de estilo gótico, con parteluz y varias arquivoltas ojivales. La otra portada está enmarcada entre columnas salomónicas. Tiene varios retablos en su interior, pero destaca el de su altar.

(Translated by Google) One of the most beautiful and monumental churches in Orihuela. It is of special interest every June 21, with the summer solstice, when the last ray of spring sun falls on the figure of the owl without casting a shadow. An annual event worth knowing. (Original) Una de las iglesias mas bonitas y monumentales de Orihuela. Tiene especial interés cada 21 de Junio, con el solsticio de verano, cuando el ultimo rayo de sol de la primavera incide sobre la figura de la lechuza sin proyectar sombra.

(Translated by Google) Exceptional Elizabethan Gothic-style doorway. Just seeing it is worth a visit to Orihuela. (Original) Excepcional portada de estilo gótico isabelino. Sólo por verla ya merecería una visita a Orihuela.

Great drinking and eating venue. We stayed in the apartments above for 4 and really enjoyed living there staying in September , weather was comfortable, not too hot... there was Motown and blues show on Tuesday last one for the summer season. The band were fantastic. We ate at the Indian restaurant, The Dining Room, great food. It's a big complex with lots or restaurants and bars around a courtyard Square.

What an amazing looking place Apartments above and 2 tier food quarter below There is something here for everyone I saw steak, breakfasts, english, mexican. Italian, fish and chips, bars and much more Tje vibe inc fountain And just the look of the buildings amd brickwork is great to see and still so full Highly recommend

So many options of bars and restaurants, amazing atmosphere. We came here whilst in holiday and ate here pretty much every day and never ate at the same restaurant twice!

Great place to have a meal and a good drink with family and friends

Loved this spot. The Italian upstairs is outstanding. Great buzz the night we were there

A beautiful and stylish plaza with a refined atmosphere, perfect for a relaxed afternoon or an elegant evening out. The terrace offers great views and a calm, upscale vibe, ideal for people-watching or unwinding with a drink. The on-site restaurant is excellent — high-quality food, attentive service, and a sophisticated setting. A great spot for those who enjoy comfort, class, and good company.

It's simply surreal. I don't think I could find somewhere so British in Britain, if I tried. There are roughly 15 restaurants, a few bars, a cannabis shop, takeaways and a supermarket, and not a single morsel of Spanish food in sight. I love Paella & Tapas but simply couldn't find any. Plenty of fish & chips, curries, pizzas & burgers though! What Brits love about Villa Martin, is what I would steer away from. I love Spain, and this is not it. Beers are dirt cheap though, around 3 euros for a pint in some places.

(Translated by Google) Just to see the building is worth it. But it also contains a large collection of sacramental art, paintings, among which a Velazquez stands out, I had never been able to see one so close, neither in the Prado nor other museums. You can also see some of the period rooms and the cloister. ♿ Totally accessible and very attentive staff. (Original) Solo por ver el edificio merece la pena. Pero además contiene una gran colección de arte sacramental, cuadros, entre los que destaca un Velazquez, nunca había podido ver uno de tan cerca, ni en el Prado ni otros museos. También se pueden ver algunos de los salones de época y el claustro. ♿ Totalmente accesible y el personal muy atento.

(Translated by Google) A beautiful museum with many 500-year-old carvings and paintings by illustrious painters. When you visit the cathedral, which costs €8, it gives you the right to enter this museum which is located right in front of the cathedral door. The Diocesan Museum of Sacred Art of Sigüenza, located in the Sigüenza Cathedral, offers an overview of the history and religious culture of the diocese of Sigüenza. The collection includes paintings and sculptures by Spanish and European artists from the 15th to 19th centuries, liturgical objects such as chalices, monstrances and priestly vestments, relics and devotional objects, and historical documents and manuscripts. The visit is self-guided, with panels and audiovisuals that provide additional information, making it an essential cultural and religious destination in Sigüenza. (Original) Un precioso museo con muchas tallas de nas de 500 años y cuadros de ilustres pintores. Cuando visitas la catedral, que cuesta 8€, da derecho a entrar a este museo que se encuentra justo enfrente de la puerta de la catedral. El Museo Diocesano de Arte Sacro de Sigüenza, ubicado en la Catedral de Sigüenza, ofrece una visión general de la historia y cultura religiosa de la diócesis de Sigüenza.

La visita es autoguiada, con paneles y audiovisuales que proporcionan información adicional, lo que lo convierte en un destino cultural y religioso imprescindible en Sigüenza.

(Translated by Google) A small museum, but full of art. I visited it on July 1, 2025, and there are works worth seeing, from the Velázquez painting to the temporary exhibition. Lovers of painting and wood carving will definitely enjoy it. It's worth a visit; you'll be pleasantly surprised. (Original) Un pequeño museo, pero lleno de Arte. Lo he visitado el 1-7-2025, y hay obras que merecen la atención, desde el cuadro de Velázquez hasta la exposición temporal. Los amantes de la pintura y la talla de madera disfrutarán, seguro. Merece la pena visitarlo, os va a sorprender gratamente.

(Translated by Google) It is a museum of great interest and with great works of sacred art, in addition to being able to contemplate the great unknown work of Velazquez "The Temptation of Saint Thomas of Aquinas". When we want to see a work by Velazquez we only think of El Prado, the National Gallery in London or the Metropolitan in New York, sometimes we do not know that we have great works very close to us and this is the case of this work that we can see in Orihuela . A city with a rich heritage that should be valued more. A luxury to be able to see a work by the Sevillian master so closely. (Original) Es un museo de gran interés y con grandes obras del arte sacro, además de poderse contemplar la gran desconocida obra de Velazquez "La tentación de Santo Tomás de Aquino". Cuando queremos ver una obra de Velazquez solo pensamos en El Prado, la National Gallery de Londres o el Metropolitano de Nueva York, a veces no sabemos que tenemos grandes obras muy cerca de nosotros y este es el caso de esta obra que podemos contemplar en Orihuela. Una ciudad con un rico patrimonio que debería de ponerse más en valor. Un lujo poder ver tan de cerca una obra del maestro sevillano.

Very nice place were you have the opportunity to see a wonderful set of Tronos and learn about the Semana Santa ( Holy week) velebration.

Lots to see and do ,great place to visit

Fascinating place.

Was closed at 16.00

A must see

(Translated by Google) The spectacular thrones, the images if I compare them with those of my town, there is everything like in an apothecary, some better and some worse. But in general it is a place where you cannot miss a visit. Highly recommended if you like HOLY WEEK. (Original) Los tronos espectaculares, las imágenes si comparo con las de mi pueblo hay de todo como en botica, unas mejores y otras peores. Pero en general es un lugar donde no puedes perderte la visita. Muy recomendable si t gusta la SEMANA SANTA.

(Translated by Google) A magnificent museum where the numerous works of art owned by the 16 brotherhoods and brotherhoods grouped in the Central Holy Week Board are collected. Images, thrones, with a tour of an upper walkway on whose walls the original works of the posters that announce the theatrical performances of the Patronato de la Pasión are displayed; along with belongings and clothing. A room called "A walk through its history" and another room with the magnificent work on the Passion by the painter Bartolome Roca that surprises everyone. (Original) Un magnífico museo donde se recogen las numerosas obras de arte que poseen las 16 cofradías y hermandadades agrupadas en la Junta Central de Semana Santa.

Una sala llamada " Un paseo por su historia" y otra sala con la magnífica obra sobre la Pasión del pintor Bartolome Roca que sorprende a todos.

(Translated by Google) I only give a ⭐️ because I haven't even been able to see it. On the eve of Easter, and with a temporary exhibition, which I really wanted to see, it is CLOSED, when it should be open according to the established schedule. He called the museum and whistled several times, and nothing. He called again, but to the tourist office, and they told me that the concierge is on leave and they have not appointed anyone to cover that leave, therefore the museum is closed firmly. There is no sign that I announced that it is temporarily closed due to lack of staff or ANYTHING. They have also not been able to announce the closure on social networks. I have moved for nothing, being from outside, and it seems embarrassing to me. (Original) Sólo doy una ⭐️ porque no he podido ni verlo. En vísperas de Semana Santa, y con una exposición temporal, la cual tenía muchas ganas de ver, está CERRADO, cuando debería estar abierto según el horario establecido. Llamó al museo y pito varias veces, y nada. Llamó de nuevo, pero a la oficina de turismo, y me comentan que el conserje está de baja y no han puesto a ninguna persona que cubra esa baja, por tanto el museo está cerrado a cal y canto. No hay ningún cartel que anuncié que está cerrado temporalmente por falta de personal ni NADA. Tampoco han sido capaces de anunciar el cierre en redes sociales. Me he desplazado para nada, siendo de fuera, y me parece bochornoso.

(Translated by Google) We went and it was closed, a shame. It opens 1 day a week and the day it opens there is no one there. This is how Callosa goes, if things continue like this I'm going to live in Catral. (Original) Fuimos y estaba cerrado, una vergüenza. Abre 1 día a la semana y el día que abre no hay nadie. Así va Callosa, como siga la cosa así me voy a vivir a Catral.

(Translated by Google) I give it 5 stars 💫 because the museum is very nice, they explain everything well, very clean and good service (Original) Le doy 5 estrellas 💫 porque el museo es muy bonito te explican todo bien muy limpio y buena atención

(Translated by Google) a spectacular museum where holy week is lived and respected and with staff worthy of the tasks of their work (Original) un museo espectacular donde se vive y se respeta la semana santa y con personal digno de las tareas de su trabajo

(Translated by Google) A must visit for any brother who wants to know Holy Week in Callosa. Marvelous. (Original) De obligada visita para todo cofrade que quiera conocer la Semana Santa de Callosa. Maravilloso.

(Translated by Google) Easter steps and images grouped and very well organized. (Original) Pasos de semana santa e imágenes agrupadas y muy bien organizado.

Nice place! Very interesting place and not very crowded either, at opening times. My son enjoyed it. Important - they do not allow children under 110 cm to visit! However - one very unpleasant thing - the guy doing the tours is very unpleasant and rude. He either has a problem with tourists or he was bothered by our presence when he was trying to do some sort of private tour to some Spanish friends of his. Very unpleasant individual that should not be employed in a position where he has to deal with people and tourists / clients especially.

Very good insight on what it was like to work in a submarine & military ship. You need to be fit and agile it involves climbing up and down steep fixed ladder steps. Young children would love it. Entrance is just 2 euros and includes headphone comintury in multiple languages.

Third time lucky... We have lived in Torrevieja for just under 3 months now and have tried to visit the submarine museum three times, the first two unsuccessful with, as others have said, it being closed for no apparent reason. The times we tried were all weeks apart, so it's not like they were just having a bad week. We finally managed to get in today on a Thursday at around 12:30pm. I gave it three stars because if you actually manage to get in, it's good value for money at just €2 each. You're pretty much forced to go on the boat first, then you go on the submarine. The boat is interesting too and you have time to make the most of it. When we were leaving, at around 13:08, some other people tried to get in but staff turned them away because they were ready to shut the place. Not fair really when the sign says it shuts at 2pm and the people getting turned away looked quite disappointed. I think it should make it clear that 2pm means closed, not "last entry". If you want to go I would recommend turning up as early as possible to avoid disappointment. To get there, turn down the sand/mud track as soon as you see the sign. It will feel like you aren't going the right way and as though you should go into the Dock, but like other people have said do not go that far. If you go through the gates, you've gone wrong. Good luck to anyone hoping to visit... Hopefully it will be open for you.

Very interesting experience for someone living on the ground all the time. Worth visiting. Access is straight, tickets (€2 per person) you buy at the entrance, go for a small ship first and then continue to the submarine itself.

Decent museum to see a submarine and a relatively modern ship from inside. The value for money is very good - the ticket price is only 2 eur. For those planning to come with children, your child needs to be at least 110cm high to be allowed to enter.

An interesting and unusual museum. Friendly staff and fascinating exhibitions. Never been on a submarine before so this was a great opportunity to see what it's like. A great value hour or so for just €2. Thank you.

Great little museum. For only 2 euros, you get an audio tour of a submarine and a patrol boat. The submarine is fascinating. There are also a variety of smaller boats and naval artefacts to explore. A great way to spend an hour!

(Translated by Google) Very nice, you have views of the entire city of Orihuela. It is also highly recommended for exercise (Original) Muy bonito, tienes vistas de toda la ciudad de Orihuela. También es muy recomendable para hacer ejercicio

(Translated by Google) A very quiet place to disconnect, from the viewpoint you can see the municipality and surroundings. An experience that is not lived every day (Original) Un lugar muy tranquilo para desconectar, desde el mirador se ve el municipio y alrededores. Una experiencia que no se vive todos los dias

(Translated by Google) A great area to enjoy a walk with spectacular views of the city. The drawback is that they allow cars to go up, and most of the time, they don't go up precisely to enjoy the views...this makes the place ugly and leaves it in a very bad state. To whom it may concern, they should put more resources and effort into making the area safe and clean so that we can continue enjoying such a wonderful place. (Original) Una zona estupenda para disfrutar de un paseo con vistas espectaculares de la ciudad. El inconveniente es que permiten subir coches, y la mayoría de ocasiones, no suben precisamente a disfrutar de las vistas...esto afea y deja en muy mal estado el recinto. A quien corresponda, deberían poner más medios y empeño en que la zona sea segura y limpia para que podamos seguir disfrutando de tan maravilloso lugar.

(Translated by Google) Stunningly beautiful views of Orihuela from a bird's eye view. The city appears in all its beauty and in the smallest detail. In good weather, the surroundings can be clearly seen for many tens of kilometers. You can even see some buildings and monuments in Murcia and its outskirts. (Original) Потрясающе красивые виды на Ориуэлу с высоты птичьего полета. Город предстает во всей красоте и в мельчайших подробностях.

(Translated by Google) I love escaping at night and admiring the views, how the lights cover the city and envelop it in a magical place... a perfect place to disconnect or play sports, because the slope brings them 😅 (Original) Me encanta escaparme en las noches y admirar sus vistas, como las luces cubren la cuidad y la envuelven en un sitio mágico.. un sitio perfecto para desconectar u hacer deporte, pues la cuesta se las trae 😅

(Translated by Google) A jewel of Orihuela's heritage, the concierge staff was very kind with their instructions and explanations, it is well worth visiting the two cloisters and the church in addition to the interactive exhibition on the history of the building. The entrance fee is €2, paid with great taste. (Original) Una joya del patrimonio de Orihuela, el personal de conserjería fue muy amable con sus indicaciones y explicacionrs, vale mucho la pena visitar los dos claustros y la iglesia además de la exposición interactiva sobre la historia del edificio.

(Translated by Google) A fantastic exhibition of sacred art, some real gems of sacred painting and sculpture, a hall of portraits of Orihuela bishops, presented in a really interesting way - and on top of that, it was cool in the hottest weather and a clean toilet. And all this for only 2 Euro. I absolutely recommend it to both believers and non-believers, it is truly worth watching, if only to realize the historical significance and real wealth of the Catholic Church. (Original) Fantastyczna wystawa sztuki sakralnej, kilka prawdziwiych perełek malarstwa i rzeźby sakralnej, sala portretów biskupów orihuelskich, pokazane w naprawdę ciiekawy sposób- No i na dodatek chłód w największy upał i czysta toaleta. I to wszystko za jedyne 2 Euro. Polecam bezwzględnie, tak wierzącym jak i nie wierzącym, naprawdę warte obejrzenia, choćby aby uświadomić sobie historyczne znaczenie i rzeczywiste bogactwo kościoła katolickiego.

(Translated by Google) Magnificent Palace declared a National Monument. Today it contains the Diocesan Museum of Sacred Art, with magnificent works of art, among which the painting by Velázquez, the Temptation of Saint Thomas, stands out. Likewise, it contains the gallery of paintings of the Bishops of Orihuela and various rooms of the old Episcopal Palace with its original furniture. It deserves to be visited. (Original) Magnífico Palacio declarado Monumento Nacional. Hoy en día contiene el Museo Diocesano de Arte Sacro, con magníficas obras de arte entre la que destaca el cuadro de Velázquez, la Tentación de Santo Tomás. Así mismo, contiene la galería de cuadros de los Obispos de Orihuela y diversas salas del antiguo Palacio Episcopal con sus muebles originales. Merece ser visitado.

(Translated by Google) An excessive entrance price for such a neglected museum. The white cartouches stained and/or deteriorated. Some works without cartouches. The worst of all is the lighting, especially in the first two rooms and the throne room. The paintings impossible to contemplate with the glare of the spotlights and the sculptures with ghostly lighting full of shadows. Added to all this drama of lights, add the mixture of cold and warm lights to illuminate the same work. You pay that price (high for such a small museum) because you think you will be able to enjoy it, but it is difficult to do so with such a sloppy presentation. (Original) Un precio de entrada excesivo para un museo tan descuidado. Las cartelas blancas manchadas y/o deterioradas. Algunas obras sin cartelas. Lo peor de todo es la iluminación, sobretodo en las dos primeras salas y en el salón del trono. Los cuadros imposible de contemplar con los brillos de los focos y las esculturas con una iluminación fantasmagórica llenas de sombras. Sumado a todo este drama de luces, añadir la mezcla de luces frías y cálidas para iluminar una misma obra. Uno paga ese precio (elevado para un museo tan pequeño) porque piensa que va a poder disfrutarlo, pero resulta difícil hacerlo con una presentación tan descuidada.

(Translated by Google) It's a shame to come expressly today, Saturday, to see it and it's closed. I needed to see her to thank her for some things. I work during the week and it is impossible.

Around the mountain San Miguel there is a walking trail excavated in the stone that surround the mountain with nice views of Orihuela, its orchard and the days with good visibility even Murcia.The walking trail is easy but you must be ready

You go half the way by car if you have. The rest is on an gravel path to the fortress. I walked up easy with sandals. 15 minuts. Excellent 250 degrees view. Better than you can imagine. Go behind and get amazed. With better shoes and time, you should go the whole way up to the cross on Monte del San Miguel.

Vista increible. Incredible views. Video Youtube: Norwegian Viking in Spain.

It starts at the Seminary. There is limited parking at the top of the seminary. Trail is pretty straight forward and has small arrows painted on the rocks to help guide you.

(Translated by Google) Very nice, it belongs to a building that was a convent and university. Today it is a primary school and high school and preserves two beautiful cloisters and a beautiful church that is very worth seeing, one cannot imagine how beautiful it is until you enter it because it has nothing to do with the style of the building that houses it. (Original) Muy bonito, pertenece a un edificio que fue convento y universidad. Hoy día es colegio de primaria e instituto de bachillerato y conserva dos bonitos claustros y una preciosa iglesia que merece mucho la pena verla, uno no imagina lo bonita que es hasta que entra en ella porque no tiene nada que ver con el estilo del edificio que la alberga.

The tower is in need of restoration work and is not open to the public and the restaurant next door is very run down and not looked after. This is an amazing view point over Cabo Roig beach and to watch the sun set over the marina. There are steps down to the marina and a nice restaurant on the sea edge.

Beautiful view from there ! Hope you see the view by night and enjoy your moment !

(Translated by Google) Monument-Asset of Cultural Interest as well as a viewpoint. The tower is closed to the public and cannot be visited. Very good views and panoramic views, recommended place for lunch and dinner, right in the same place there is a restaurant with the same views although I can't comment on it since I haven't tried it. There are stairs that lead to the small port, ideal for a short walk, perfect at sunset. (Original) Monumento-Bien de Interés Cultural además de mirador. La torre se encuentra cerrada al público y no se puede visitar.

(Translated by Google) I don't understand how in a museum that is called archaeological there is a piece of sacred art. I also don't understand how people can get married in a museum. Very little, after 5 minutes of being there you no longer know what to do. Anyway, shame on public money (Original) No entiendo como en un museo que se llama arqueológico hay una pieza de arte sacro. Tampoco entiendo como en un museo se puede casar la gente. Muy poca cosa, con 5 minutos de estar allí ya no sabes lo que hacer. En fin, lástima de dinero público

(Translated by Google) Essential visit in the province of Alicante. Albatros III patrol boat of the Tax Agency, decommissioned in 2006 and delivered to the Torrevieja City Council. Count 2 euros and you can visit both the Albatros III patrol boat and the Delfin S-61 submarine that is located next door. The visit is done with an audio guide and is well worth it. Better to go during the week so there won't be many people and the visit is more relaxed. It is highly recommended and the people there are very friendly. (Original) Visita imprescindible en la provincia de Alicante. Patrullero Albatros III de la Agencia Tributaria, dado de baja en 2006 y entregado al Ayuntamiento de Torrevieja.

Mejor ir entre semana así no habrá mucha gente y la visita es más relajada. Es muy recomendable y las personas que hay en el lugar son muy amables.

(Translated by Google) A very cool floating museum. You can see two patrol boats (one from the Civil Guard and one from the tax agency) and then a submarine (S-61). Outside, they also have items related to the military and navigation. There's a private parking lot next door that belongs to the port. If not, park in the town and walk there; it won't take more than 15 minutes. The entrance fee was €2, but it's not currently being charged. There are QR codes that explain the guide. It's quite hot inside. And it's not recommended for girls to wear skirts, because the stairs inside the ships are quite steep. (Original) Museo flotante muy chulo. Tienes la posibilidad de ver dos patrulleros ( uno de la guardia civil y otro de agencia tributaria) y luego un submarino ( S-61 ) además fuera también tienen elementos relacionados con el ejército y la navegación Hay un parking privado al lado que pertenece al puerto y sino aparcar por el pueblo y ya acercarse que no se tarda más de 15 min Ponía 2€ la entrada pero , no se está cobrando ahora mismo Tienes unos QR que te van explicando la guía Hace bastante calor en el interior Y la chicas no es recomendable usar falda , porque las escaleras de las naves son bastante verticales

A beautiful ancient but well kept Cathedral. Felt good to pray and offer thanks. Lit a few candles too. Very peaceful and liberating Cathedral.

Super cathedral fantastic history. Beautiful architecture and lots of ornate decorating on the ceilings and walls.

Beautiful cathedral with a very long and interesting history. We opted to get the entry tickets and spent quite a lot of time going through the artefacts on display in the museum section at the back of the cathedral. The climb up the bell tower is narrow and steep but the panoramic view of Orihuela from the top of the bell & clock tower is fantastic.

Very nice cathedral with many ancient religious relics. The entrance costs 2 euro.

It was an excellent experience the mass service and the procession of El Sagrado Corazon de Jesus to the seminary up the hill after the mass.

A beautiful historical building.

We didn't go inside as it was closed at the time be visited. However, it is set in the old part of the town, it's dated but impressive

(Translated by Google) Beautiful palace, today property of the City Council that has abandoned it, a shame for the city and the Valencian community (Original) Palacio precioso, hoy propiedad del Ayuntamiento que lo tiene abandonado, una vergüenza para la ciudad y la comunidad valenciana

(Translated by Google) Rubalcava Palace. Its construction was completed in the 1930s although it has some later additions. It was built imitating the scheme of the Oriolano baroque palaces (from a hallway illuminated by a neo-baroque dome and through a marble staircase with a tiled plinth you access the noble floor). The different rooms on this floor have been given environments consistent with their function and clearly differentiated. For example, the chapel is neo-Gothic in style; the black living room features sober furniture (some in Castilian and Renaissance style); the ballroom is in the rococo style, the green room in the empire style, etc. We must highlight an important set of furniture with a wide chronology and varied style, Renaissance, Recoco, Empire, Queen Anne, Provençal, Castilian, etc. It also has an interesting collection of ceramics, mainly from Manises, spice racks, fountains, plates, salvillas, etc. Among the multitude of canvases preserved in the palace, several with religious themes from the 17th and 18th centuries stand out. (Original) Palacio de Rubalcava. Su consutcción se terminó en los años treinta aunque tiene algún añadido posterior. Se construyó imitando el esquema de los palacios barrocos oriolanos (desde un zaguán iluminado por una cúpula neobarroca y a través de una escalera de mármol con zócalo de azulejería se accede a la planta noble). A las distintas estancias de esta planta se les ha logrado dar ambientes acordes con su función y claramente diferenciados. Así por ejemplo, la capilla es de estilo neogótico; el salón negro presenta muebles sobrios (algunos de estilo castellano y renacentista); el salón de baile es de estilo rococó, el salón verde de estilo imperio, etc. Hay que destacar un importante conjunto de muebles de amplia cronología y variado estilo, renacimiento, recocó, imperio, reina Ana, provenzal, castellano, etc. Así mismo guarda una interesante colección de cerámica, principalmente de Manises, especieros, fuentes, platos, salvillas, etc. Entre la multitud de lienzos conservados en el palacio destacan varios de tema religioso de los siglos XVII y XVIII.
