    Archaeologists aren't sure when this church was built. It has a nice snug feeling to it though and we can be sure of one thing: this is where CC spent much of his time asking for success and the cash to achieve it. The crew would have all been in here a few hours before departure.
    ⦁ Presiding over the main altar is a sculpture of a Christ which replaces an older statue destroyed during the Spanish Civil War.
    ⦁ In the south wall there is a small chapel alcove dedicated to the patron of the friary, Our Lady of Miracles.
    ⦁ Gothic arches in proportion to Moorish door
    ⦁ The alabaster statue of St. Mary, is in the 14thC Andalucian art style.

When the coast was clear, they fished it up in their nets and put it in the church.
