Gharb Attractions

This is the oldest and main western village, with its own dialect. The village has remained tranquil and unspoiled, although development is occurring around it at an increasing pace. The village has an exquisite parish church, fine old carved stone balconies and several good restaurants.

St Mary's Church

This 16th C. church at the bottom of its own pastoral little valley is still in use. According to legend, the icon of the Madonna performed a miracle here, forming a spring of oil from underneath it. It is said that so many people came to collect the miraculous oil that it eventually dried up.
