Nuestra Señora del Consuelo, a Neo-Baroque church in Altea's historic Plaza de la Iglesia, is a must-visit gem on the Costa Blanca. Built between 1900 and 1910 on the site of a 16th-century church, it features a Latin cross plan and an interior adorned with golden floral and classic elements that contrast beautifully with its white walls. The church's blue ceramic dome, typical of eastern Spanish architecture, glimmers in the sunlight, and nearby, a viewing point offers stunning views of the Altea coast and Mediterranean Sea. The area around the church, with its whitewashed houses, boutiques, and vibrant bars and restaurants, adds to its bohemian and Mediterranean charm.
