San Estéban

San Estéban Review

Though this Romanesque-style building has baroque facing on the interior, the exterior has kept some splendid capitals, as well as an exceptional tower. Due east of the church square is the Capilla de San Juan de Dios, next to which is the former pension where the poet Antonio Machado spent his last years in Spain. The family who looked after Machado still owns the building and will show you the poet's room on request, with its kerosene stove, iron bed, and round table.
