El Santuario de Santo Niño de Atocha. The Santo is very small, but beautifully located in a magnificent old gold - gilded church. The Child is said to roam the hills/valleys, particularly at night, bringing aid/comfort to the needy, and thereby wearing out his shoes. He is usually shown seated. Many people come from all over the world to pay their respects & seek a miracle from Santo Niño. In February, there celebration in which Compadres (God-parents) are selected & they can dress the Santo Niño in different attire (see picture where Santo Niño is wearing a Mexican Sombrero).

Especially the outside of the building is fascinating, I couldn't get enough from looking up to all that beautiful stonework. The modern altar is unusual and impressive.

Reviewed By lesjmejia

Amazing views! Breath taking! Great place to take some great pictures of the town. The only little thing the air is very thin due to the altitude so it can be difficult for some people to breath.
