Best churches to visit in Spain

Spain’s great cathedrals were built to outshine the mosques they replaced, and several still show the join: the Mosque-Cathedral of Córdoba, Seville with its Giralda tower, Toledo, Granada and Santiago de Compostela at the end of the pilgrim way. Barcelona adds the Sagrada Família, the most booked church in the country, and the monasteries of Montserrat and El Escorial are classic day trips.
