One important aspect of your visit to Spain is how you select the places which you want to visit. The places are innumerable and unless you have some briefings about the places, it would be certainly difficult to make the best choice.

The plaza is constructed in Neo classical and Baroque architecture. This is the place for the young and the old for a weekend hang out.

The church has two chapels; one being that of El Sagrario built in 1639 and the other of Jesus Nazeareno built in 1730.
