💡 The choir has a small balcony with good views of the altar — ask the caretaker if it's open. No photography during services.
💡 Free on the first Sunday of the month — otherwise it's €2. The cork section has hands-on displays worth 20 minutes.
💡 Check if the temporary art exhibits are on — they often feature local contemporary artists.
💡 Visit late afternoon: the sun hits the tiles and the chapel glows. There's rarely a queue, so take your time.
💡 Best at sunrise or sunset — the light is soft and the town below is quiet. There's a single bench; bring a mat if you want to sit longer.
