Church of altea right that is it how do

you say church in Spanish Darcy
2:44
Iglesia that's how you say it here
2:48
oh these blue tiles are incredible it

out there because of these blue tiles
2:58
and the capsule you search up on Google
3:00
out there and this is the first thing

you're gonna see talking about the
3:03
Iglesia did you know it was built in the
3:06
1600s yeah you're right and in the 1800s
3:10
they had to close it because the state
3:11
of the church was really bad but they
3:14
ended up rebuilding it and in the 1900s
3:16
they opened it up for the public again
3:18
Wow Let's go and see it inside let's go
3:25
