Granada, the golden Baroque aesthetic feast

Tucked away in the heart of Granada, there’s a hidden gem called Basílica de San Juan de Dios (Basilica of St. John of God) ⛪️. You’d never guess its magic from the outside—plain, unassuming, the kind of place you might stroll past without a second thought. But trust me, don’t let that fool you! Step through its doors, and boom—your senses get hit with pure awe. This is Baroque opulence at its most dazzling: walls, ceilings, every nook and cranny glowing with gold. It’s so over-the-top beautiful, I just stood there, mouth open, completely lost for words ✨💫⭐️. Who knew such a plain exterior could hide something this jaw-dropping? Pro tip: When you buy tickets at the entrance, grab the Chinese audio guide 🎧! It’s a total game-changer. Wandering up and down the floors, listening to the stories behind the art, I couldn’t stop staring—there are so many glittering details, your eyes won’t know where to look first. (Heads up, though: Upstairs has some saints’ skulls and relics 🦴. If that creeps you out, feel free to skip that part!) If you’re in Granada, don’t just stick to the Alhambra—this basilica is so worth adding to your list. I’m totally obsessed with Baroque maximalism, and this place nails it. Plus, since it’s small and never crowded, the grandeur feels even more intense—like the gold and beauty are wrapping around you all at once 🙈🙉🙊. #SpainTravel #Granada #BaroqueBeauty #ChurchHopping #MaximalistAesthetic #VisualShock
