    I have run out of adjectives to use for all the ‘Wow’ places we have visited. The word ‘incredible’ just doesn’t cut it when describing this cathedral. Chris and I have seen many beautiful cathedrals but we both feel that this one is one of the most beautiful.

    Queen Isabella ordered the construction of the Cathedral of Granada in 1505, shortly after the capture of the city in 1492. The first stone of the Cathedral was laid in 1523 and its construction lasted 181 years. It was finished in 1704.

    We were given a code to use with our phones and we followed numbered posts, getting a self-guided tour this way and at our pace.

    It was an incredible place!

    Now onto the Royal Chapel.
