The Church of the Holy Cross was built in the 15th century, the Church of the Holy Cross is one of the most important monuments in Pedreguer. They say it was built on an old Muslim mosque, but a Renaissance-style reform hides this fact. Later, in 1574, it had to be repaired, so the facade was in the Renaissance style, but the rest in the Baroque style. Thus we find a baroque interior with a Renaissance exterior. Something worth seeing if history, art and architecture are interesting to you.

In it, there are different mountain routes that you can enjoy and some of them have historical objectives, such as the route of “El castell de l’ocaive and les alqueries medievals”, reaching an old castle located on the mountain.

The working day is often seasonal, with later opening hours over the summer months, and many businesses still close during traditional siesta hours.
Alicante Airport (IATA: ALC, ICAO: LEAL), also known as Alicante-Elche Airport, is currently the fifth largest airport in Spain and is the gateway to the Costa Blanca resort region, serving both the Valencia Community and the Region of Murcia.
