DON JUSTO'S ONE MAN CATHEDRAL 🔥
⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯

I wrote about Don Justo building his cathedral back in 2013 for the Toronto Star. It was one of the most astounding things I'd seen in Spain. And finally I decided to make a video about it.

The place is remarkable -- 60 years of work of one man. Sadly, Don Justo is pretty infirm these days so has stopped working daily on the building. I suspect he hasn't got many years left. And they're working hard to get it converted to an official church.

Will it happen? Who knows - but it's certainly a unique place to visit if you're ever in Madrid.

To get out there, head to the Conde de Casal metro stop, and look for the 341 bus stop -- I've linked the precise map point below. It's only a few euros and 30 minutes each way. One of the bus stops is right alongside the cathedral - but even if you get off at the wrong stop, Mejorada isn't big.

You're supposed to pay a donation when you go in. If you want to support the building of the cathedral, head to https://onemancathedral.com/ where you can donate.

I suggest going in the morning, wandering around a little bit (it's open 7 days, all day), and then heading for long lunch at El Fogón de Manolo -- excellent food and a nice outdoor eating area.

Below is the link to the Google address for the bus in Madrid. Note that currently with COVID, you can't pay with cash. So you'll need to get a Multi card from the machines in the metro and fill it with tickets for B2 zone. If you're confused just say to the person in the Metro "Mejorada del Campo, autobus, multi" -- that should work!
