    Spectacular view spot at the top of a hill.. Very baroque church... lovely vibe up there... and this church has a bar attached to it! Is that not unusual? Something for everyone. Take toilet paper with you .. as that wasn't maintained the day we visited.

    We love coming to Vaho for massages and Hydrotherapy. This time, we just did a 60 minute massage. The staff are warm and welcoming. Truly a blessing for us to be able to make use of this wonderful spa.

    This church located on Calle Santiago was built in the Gothic/Mudejar style in the 16th century.
    The Commander of the Order of Santiago was Garci Mendez de Sotomayor and he ordered the church to be built in 1503. The church has a rectangular floor plan with three naves. There are octagonal pillars that support pointed arches. The main front door carries an image of Santiago (St. James), the patron saint of Spain. The church has been declared as a National Historic Monument.

    The Convent of San Juan de Dios is located at Calle de la Calzada, 16. It is the third convent of the Orden Hospitalaria de San Juan de Dios and was founded in 1565 by Frutos de San Pedro, a brother from the same order in Granada. In the 18th century a son of Lucena became the head of the order and had the convent enriched. The Baroque church has one nave only and this is adorned with marble and jasper. The main altar was finished in 1754. The architect was Jose de Bada y Navajas. He hired the artists Raxis, Saravia, Bocanegra and Alonso Cano to decorate the interior of the church. The crypt has the remains of Frutos de San Pedro who is in the process of being beatified. Today the convent is part of a rest home for old people, but one can ask the authorities of the rest home to see the church.

    The Church of Santo Domingo is located at Juan Jiménez Cuenca, 14. It was built over a hermitage dedicated to San Francisco de Paula in 1730. Its architect was Fray Juan Rodriguez de Ocampo. The church has a Latin Cross design, with lateral chapels. There are two doors to the church, one dedicated to San Francisco de Paula, and the other to the Virgen de la Victoria. The beautiful main altar in Baroque design was made by Francisco Jose Guerrero, who also created the plaster molds that decorate the cupola. There is a statue of Christ of the Blood that was made of acacia in Mexico. The statue of San Jose was made by the sculptor Jose de Mora from Granada. The statue of San Marcos is attributed to Jose de Medina.

    It is not that the place provides a poor experience but rather you need to book your visit in advance. I was searching it and never found this information. On the contrary, no alert. When we got to the place than we actually see the phone to call and make a reservation: +34 605 86 75 14
