One runs out of superlatives in describing the church structures in Granada. This is one not-to-be-missed sights. More

Most folks visit Granada for the Moorish (Alhambra) and Gothic (Cathedral) architecture, but the city also has two spectacular examples of Baroque architecture. One is this church located about 10 minutes walk west of the Cathedral. Incredible. Literally dripping with ornament. More

Just beautiful. Well worth the stop. Pick up the guide for 1 euro at the front desk and then explore. More
