We always enjoy a visit to Candelaria and love to go into the Basilica its not as old as it looks but its a very important building and is very well attended especially during religious festivals.
Amazing Basilica, well worth a visit even for non-religious. Nice open square outside to relax with an ice cream.
Read up on this, blurb says top tourist attraction. It wasnt even open! If planning on visiting, try check if it's open first.
Absolutely worth popping in. Do take a look at the side chapels as the wall decorations are stunning. The Madonna is interesting too.
Beautiful Basilca must see ! Go inside and look around - you can even get close up to the Madonna ! and sometimes they have a Carnival there at nightime.
Beautiful building, certainly worth visiting if you are in the area. The square is a lovely space overlooking the ocean and there are some lovely cafes and bars surrounding the area. Definitely get an ice cream here!

A beautiful traditional Spanish town on the coast with the added attraction of the black Madonna. The town it self is full.of shops and tapas bars and lovely to spend some time just mooching
