El Campello

About the church:

We meet in a chapel in the grounds of Los Salesianos at 12.00 noon every Sunday. Our friendly congregation comes from the area round Alicante, and after the service there is always an opportunity to take a picnic to the beach or to have it in the shady grounds of the church.

Whilst we have a committed local congregation, we always look forward to meeting people on holiday in the area .  After the service there is a time for fellowship and refreshments.

We have a number of social events during the course of the year. Some of these are for fund raising and some just for social time together.

Transport links are good with the tram running along the coast, and we are just a short walk from the Salesianos station.. Please come and join us, whether you are resident here or on a sunshine break.

Address:

Colegio Salesianos

Los Salesianos is just off the sea-front at the northern end of Playa Muchavista. It is accessible from the sea-front both from Campello centre, and from San Juan, as well as from the N332 and AP7 & A70 motorways.

From the AP7 motorway:

Southbound, this divides just before Campello and exit 67. The left-hand lanes lead around the back of Alicante: the right-hand lanes (with the airport/aeroplane logo) is the way to follow, through the final toll-booths. Follow signs (next exit) to El Campello and San Juan (left lane where the road divides) which will bring you on to the N332 northbound towards Valencia.

At the roundabout take the first exit, signposted to La Font (right) just before the lights.
