Iglesia del Santo Madero Northeast Mexico

This deeply striking church perched precariously on the rocky outcrop on the south edge of town has – once you’ve undergone the steep-but-rewarding 293-step climb up – some wonderful, expansive views over dramatic countryside beyond town. It’s a 30-minute walk from the center, east along Madero then up Aguirre Benavides. The tiny church itself rarely opens.
