Beautiful Altar
This basilica has a very unusual and beautiful altar. There are 8 pillars behind it. One of the things we like the most here is that the chapels are not behind bars like jail cells. This is a humble and simple church with some renovation going on at the moment. There is nothing spectacular in here, so if you are pressed for time, you can skip it. Entry is €5.00 or €10.00 depending on what you want to do. Tickets can be obtained onsite (cash or card) or online.

Just Sit and Look Up!
Particularly as a contrast to La Sagrada Familia, this extraordinary (and extraordinarily old) Gothic cathedral is really a beautiful place to just go and sit. The soaring interior is plain but, well, soaring and such decorative elements as the doors and the medallions on the ceiling are well worth a look. The original rose window was destroyed in an earthquake but the "new" one that's there dates from the 15th century! It was hot when we were there and we didn't climb the tower but definitely do that if you're there in cooler months.
