The cathedral in Nerja is, in a word, elegant. It is very well cared for, richly decorated and is gilded with gold everywhere.

The exterior. Note the blue skies. We have had excellent weather.

The very opulant Mary standing next to Jesus. This was the type of church that didn’t have candles to burn but little electric candles that could be lit if you put in some money.

Look at this great altar with the creche in front.

This little group in costumes was out front of the church one Saturday singing Spanish Christmas songs with tambourines and castenets and some drums. The next day there was a choir singing songs in German. Nerja is packed with English and German people enjoying the warm weather.
