The cathedral is best viewed at dawn I think and Is a photographer's dream. A quick walk from the main street to he "Avenue of the Apostles", the cathedral is bigger than you expect. An architectural masterpiece, it is amazing in stature and age. Talk in one of the many restaurants in the front but dont forget the ones off... More

So you go to a major English catherdral/minster and pay £9 ish to get in. Here? Nothing! And what sights inside. Lavish tableau's and icons. If you're discreet you can take pics inside (even though it says not as you go in. Everyone appears to. Just be respectful in dress code and cover shoulders and no hot pants/short shorts. Peace...

The cathedral experience is an amazing opportunity to live the "Barroco Español" and enjoy a place with a millenarian history but which still remains important in the heart of the citizens. Inside we can find a museum for tourists where the entrance fee is €3 and if you want audio guide is another €3. The space is interesting and well... More
