LOS SALESIANOS

Los Salesianos church in El Campello

 

About the Church:

We meet in an intimate chapel within the campus of Los Salesianos, in a beautiful tranquil setting with facilities for a picnic lunch or a trip to the nearby beach. There is a family atmosphere as our congregation includes a number of children and younger people, with an age-range from 6 years to 80+ !

Special Projects: A range of refreshments are served after the service to raise funds for Samuel in Uganda whom we sponsor through World Vision.

Salvation Army: We collect clothing for their Charity Shop, and dry goods to help with their Food Distribution Programme.

There are frequent Social Events, both for fund-raising and for outreach to our friends beyond the church community

A warm welcome is extended to all our visitors.

Services:

Every Sunday 12 noon in the Seminary at Los Salesianos.

Directions:

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 A70 motorway.

From the A70 motorway:

  • Take exit (67) and follow signs to El Campello which will bring you on to the N332 northbound to Valencia.
  • There may well be traffic backed up to the next set of traffic lights, where you will turn off to the right.
  • Continue as far as possible on the slip-road, without joining the main stream, and you will soon see a sign to La Font (right) just before the lights.
  • It is possible to access this turning from the slip-road by staying in the right-hand lane.
  • Turn right to La Font. Then see below ´Continuing Instructions from A70 & N332 routes´

Approaching south on the N332:

  • Pass through upper Campello on the main road, until you come to the second main junction at traffic lights, with the sign to La Font.
  • Turn left across main road using the turning lane. Then see below ´Continuing Instructions from A70 & N332 routes´

Continuing Intructions from A70 & N332 routes:

  • Continue to the end of this residential street until the T junction at the end.
  • Turn left, and continue to the end where the road ahead opens up into fields.
  • Cross the junction, continuing straight ahead.
  • Continue through open ground. This is a one-way road, but you may encounter traffic approaching.
  • At the end, you will see on your left the gates of Los Salesianos.
  • Turn in, go round central roundabout to your left, and park where you can.

If approaching along the sea-front from Campello centre:

  • Continue south around the headland until you approach the start of Playa Muchavista, with apartment blocks on your right.
  • You will see on your right a turning with a No Entry sign (access for Residents & the School only) and the railway bridge.
  • Turn right here, and continue straight ahead at the top of the hill, where you will see the gates of Los Salesianos.

If approaching along the sea-front from San Juan:

  • Continue along Playa Muchavista, and through the one-way system where the railway is elevated to your left.
  • Straight on at the traffic lights, and look for No Entry turning to your left (see previous paragraph) and turn left here.

From the Car Park:

  • Walk back to the main church to the right and ahead of the entrance gates.
  • Go through the green gates to the right of the church entrance, or if these are locked, walk through Reception, and walk to the far end of the cloisters.
  • Turn right at the end, and the door ahead (in the far right-hand corner of the cloisters) leads to the chapel where we meet for worship.

To exit in all directions:

  • Leave by main gates, and go down the hill ahead to the sea-front.

To return to Campello:

  • Turn left at traffic lights

To return to San Juan:

  • N332 and A70 turn right, and continue to the next set of lights where you must turn right again.
  • Drive up the hill, and stay in the right-hand lane.
  • At the T junction, turn right.
  • Continue for about 10 metres, until you reach four-way crossroads, and turn left.
  • Continue until the first turning right, and return to the N332 junction and traffic-lights.
  • Join the N332: for A70 turn left using turning lane, and continue to A70 slip-road ahead.
