The outing, step by step
10:0060 min
The basilica
Built in the nineteenth century on the Bologhine cliff, the basilica blends Romano-Byzantine and Moorish styles; from its forecourt, the whole bay.
11:0045 min
The western corniche
Down to the sea and the corniche road, its coves and its line fishermen.
12:0090 min
A fish lunch
Grilled sardines and the catch of the day by the water; the concierge books a table it knows.
The concierge’s advice
- Respectful dress for the basilica.
- The wind blows on the forecourt: a light jacket, even in summer.
