View of Peñón de Ifach and Calpe from Pinos

Highlight • Viewpoint

Nice descent over Pino overlooking Calp.
Before that, of course, it's uphill, but the descent meanders beautifully along the mountain

Russian Orthodox Church of Saint Michael the Archangel in Altea

Highlight • Religious Site

In Altea, in the Mascarat district, Spain's first Russian Orthodox church has been built. Specialists were flown in from Siberia specifically for the construction, and they erected the Church of San Miguel Arcangel under the unusually mild temperatures. The building is a replica of 17th-century Russian Orthodox churches, and all the materials for this extraordinary structure came from the Ural Mountains.

A Russian billionaire is said to have built the church for his mother. A success! 👍

Russian Orthodox Church of San Miguel Arcangel Altea - Local name: Iglesia Ortodoxa de San Miguel Arcángel. The wooden church was opened in 2007. It is the only freestanding church in Spain under the jurisdiction of the Russian Orthodox Church. The parish to which it belongs was founded on the initiative of the Bock family – Russian immigrants who came to Altea in 1996.
