We were able to reach the Catedral de Santa Maria la Real de la Almudena even if Edmund and I were a little bit late for the Sunday Mass. The Cathedral is steps away from the Royal Palace.

The construction of the cathedral begun in 1879 but was stopped during the Spanish Civil War and the project didn’t resume till after 1950. It was completed only in 1993 and consecrated by Pope John Paul II.

If only we took our Spanish classes in college seriously then we would not wonder what this meant.
