Another of Madrid's elaborate churches, filled with striking images. If for nothing else we should be grateful that Catholic religious fervour did at least give us these images. Both those religiously inclined and those, such as myself, free of such dispostions, can enjoy the grandeur of the art and imagery, albeit from a greatly differing perspective. They will in time furnish a fine museum.
In the office of this church, which is next to the altar on the left, you can get the Carnet of pilgrim to walk to Santiago there is no change but they ask for a donation... Also you can get blessed after the Mass service.
These photos were taken during part of our Spanish Inquisition nighttime walking tour.
After I drop by San miguel I saw this church then it looks simple but has a historic and meaningful.
As with all Churches of Spain, there is so much to learn and admire that we highly recommend a visit. Absolutely exquisite!
