The walk up the outside city walls to the Cathedral is awesomely beautiful with views out over the city to the hills. We entered through gardens behind, open for the Flower Festival in May, which had the Cathedral steps covered in flowers. I have yet to enter since the sun was shining for a moment and we had coffee in... More

We had seen a lot of cathedrals in Spain by the time we got to this one and thought that it might get a bit repetitive but the very facade is stunning and the interior is unlike any other. Do take a walk around the cathedral to see the old city and do the walk along its walls. The road... More

A beautiful, ornate baroque cathedral. The museum is small but extraordinary. The Creation tapestry (or whatever it is called) is quite special. Do not miss it. Unless you are with someone knowledgeable, use an audio guide.

A very impressive building from the outside, but this was not reflected inside, which was a bit dark & average.

I have to admit, we ran out of time and didn't go into the Cathedral. However, it is an awesome building in terms of size and architecture, and our children explored the area around it for ages. Very beautiful.

The audio tour is very good value for money at 7 euros (you also get aceea good base to explore the townss to the basilica of st Felix). The tour takes about an hour and is well worth the time!

I didn't enter the Cathederal. I felt that as a Christian, entry into a house of God should not be by payment. While I gladly leave money in the up-keep boxes of all the churches I visit when away, I refuse to pay an entry fee into any church.

After a climb up the stairs, we were glad to get inside. The cathedral is huge, with many side chapels. A large collection of treasures is on display before going into the main church, and well worth admiring is the tapestry of creation. Entrance 7 euros and 5 for pensioners. It was a warm and sunny day, and after the... More

I did this on a tour run by a Meetup.com group. You will have a better time at a slower pace. There are many stairs in the town to get up to the cathedral, then at the cathedral, their are 88 more. (I read that, not counted. LOL.) If you can do it, it's worth the trip. So big, so... More
