Santuario de Nuestra Señora de la Cinta

TIME : 2016/2/19 1:40:00

Of Gothic-Mudéjar origins but reconstructed in the 18th and 19th centuries, this pretty, plain white sanctuary looks out across the Odiel estuary from its peaceful hillside spot 3km north of the centre. Columbus allegedly promised to pray here upon returning to Spain across the turbulent Atlantic in 1493; the story is depicted in tiles by artist Daniel Zuloaga. Take city bus 6 from outside the bus station.
