We joined a tour given in Spanish but were handed audio guides in English which worked very well.This was an extremely interesting and well researched tour, taking you down into the crypt and showing the area beneath the vast cathedral pillars, explaining the history of the site, the building itself and the necessary work (currently 20 years - and running) which has taken place to stabilise it for the future. It seems that 1960s renovations weren't too helpful. The tour takes visitors (who must don fetching hair covers and hard hats) into the body of the cathedral, up to the triforium and the parapet and into the bell towers before finishing with a visit to the portico and the beautiful set of arches. Don't scorn the hard hats. Some of the arches you pass beneath are very low and it would be all too easy to graze or thump you head. It's not advisable if you suffer from vertigo - and some of it would be tough-going if you can't climb stairs easily. However, some areas are accessible by lift and I noticed one elderly visitor who had negotiated parts of the tour this way. Don't miss this tour. It's unique, informative and extremely professionally presented.

This is a very impressive tour. The art and architecture is superb. The lady at the office where you get the tickets speaks Spanish and not much else. Someone in your group needs to understand the language for the tour.

Basilica of San Prudencio de Armentia is a beautiful Romanesque church, original and very old.This church is located in one of the most beautiful areas of the city. This is a must see tourist attraction. Beautiful outside and inside. The church has a Latin cross design with one nave divided into three sections with a cross vault.
