The cycle path is a green way to approach Granada. But it is not that special. Rather a missed opportunity to make something beautiful of it.

Iglesia Parroquial de la Encarnación The Iglesia Parroquial de la Encarnación in Santa Fe, Granada, is a beautiful example of neoclassical architecture. The church was built between 1774 and 1785 under the direction of the architects Ventura Rodríguez and Domingo Lois Monteagudo. It stands on the site of an earlier church that was destroyed by a landslide in 1824. The church has an impressive fachada with two towers and a column-shaped portico with statues of Kings Ferdinand and Isabella. Inside the church you can see a precise iconographic program, designed by the painter Fernando Marín Chaves. The church is also historically important because it was on the site where the Capitulaciones de Santa Fe were signed in 1492, which approved Christopher Columbus' voyage to America.
