Buenos días

Hello! So updating my blog has not gone as well as I had originally intended but it's Spain! Why do it today when you can do it tomorrow!|

I will begin with my new blog feature 'Claire's reviews of things that are cultural'. Enjoy this because it may never happen again.

Review one : The cathedral


Now I was excited for this cathedral, as you all know I love a good shrine, and this place had so much potential for kitschness. However, kitsch this was not. For this reason I will give it 4/10. To illustrate my point I will do a shrine comparison..

Tasteful but colourful
Mexico knows how to do a shrine


Jesus would approve 

And Santiago's shrine..
 
CALL THIS A SHRINE?!!

I eventually overcame the disappointment and hope there are better cultural times ahead.
