A local would say...

Possibly Spain's most lavishly decorated church interior — every surface drips with gold

Bored of baroque churches? Seen every gilded altarpiece you want to see? Come to the Basílica de St John of God. If Seville Cathedral is the world's most voluminous church, this basilica is surely one of the most opulently decorated. Barely a square inch of the interior lacks embellishment, most of it rich and glittering. A hidden gem.
