Parish Church of Los Belones

Parroquía San Isidro Labrador, Los Belones

This is dedicated to San Isidro Labrador, the patron saint of agriculturalists
The little church of Los Belones is dedicated to San Isidro Labrador, the patron saint of those working in the agricultural sector. San Isidro is called upon to protect crops and animals, and each year there is a Romería to the local water source in his honour, and the fiestas of Los Belones revolve around his saint’s day.

This became a parish church on 3rd January 1893, gaining parochial independence from the church in Alumbres and leading the way for the later parish churches of La Manga and Cabo de Palos.

The Los Belones church was restored in 1991 and officially blessed by Javier Azagra, the Bishop of Cartagena. The central nave is flanked by two side apses containing beautiful images in the chapels, and the image of the patron saint is housed in the altarpiece behind the cross of the altar itself.
