    A really great place to visit. Weekends and holiday can be exceptionaly busy so best to go during the week. There is only 1 cafeteria here which can also get busy. There are plenty of places to walk and the views over Murcia City are amazing on a clear day.

    Beautiful inside, remember to put a Euro in the light box in the entrance hall before you enter the church... lights everything up. For people with walking difficulties access is very good. Small playground in gardens for children, Quaint little gift shop and very nice coffee shop, fabulous views... Enjoy 👍🏻

    Took a local guide in Murcia who recommended to come here - I am happy I followed his advice. Stunning views and nice atmosphere. I think would be lovely to visit also at sunset and at night. Taxi ride from the center costed 14 euros

    If you are visiting Murcia! You have to go to El santuario Fuensanta ! The views are 🤩 ! Totally worth it ! And there is a coffee shop/restaurant which offers Spanish typical tapas !

    A beautiful monastery set in a beautiful national park located in a elevated position and offering far-reaching views over the countryside. The monastery was closed to the public on the day we visited so check opening times before you visit. There is ample free parking but wheelchair access is very limited. The cafeteria is accessed by steps and not disabled friendly at all, which is a great pity. Overall, my rating is for the beauty of the exterior of the building and the magnificent views. However, our experience would have been greatly enhanced if ramps were installed to improve wheelchair access. It's 2023, there should be equal access for everyone!

    Excellent! Great view! Just moved on the way up to this place, small village, only 5 km from Murcia city center. Will keep you fit, it is a nice walk up to the hill, otherwise even there is a bus line that take you the Sanctuary.

    Beautiful place set in the woods with views across the city. Plenty of parking and a nice bar to sit and enjoy the view with a drink and a bite to eat.

    Wonderful! Unbelievable views across Murcia and beyond. Church is stunning outside and inside. Lots of places to sit and enjoy the surrounding areas and cafe serving superb Ensaladilla. Have visited twice and will visit again.

    Interesting place with loads of Catholic Images making up stations of the Cross and the Rosary's mysteries

  • 5/5 Andy H. 7 months ago on Google
    Absolutely gorgeous place, and what a place to take photos... Which i enjoy. If you want to go inside visitors are asked to cover up arms and legs. Otherwise enjoy the grounds. Toilets are on site adjacent to the large car park which is a one way system.
