Capilla de San José


For a blast of full-on baroque glitz, pop into this small church hidden away on a side street between Calles Sierpes and Tetuán. Behind its 18th-century facade, it boasts some startlingly lavish decor, culminating in an extraordinary gold altarpiece centred on a sculpture of San José.
