Wander through its beautifully preserved medieval quarter, with cobbled streets, artistic murals, and charming hidden corners. The city stands out for its calm atmosphere, green urban planning, and rich cultural identity.
Visit the striking Cathedral of Santa María, known for its unique “Open for Restoration” project. You’ll explore a living construction site and gain insight into how a Gothic temple is restored, with views from areas rarely accessible to the public.
