For all its stark Renaissance bulk, Granada's Catedral is a disappointment. It was begun in 1521, just as the Capilla Real was finished, but was then left incomplete well into the eighteenth century. At least it's light and airy inside, though, and it's fun to go round putting coins in the slots to light up the chapels, where an El Greco St Francis and sculptures by Pedro de Mena and Martínez Montañés will be revealed.
