Iglesia del Buen Viaje

The Iglesia del Buen Viaje is the smaller of Remedios's two Plaza Mayor churches, facing the Iglesia de San Juan Bautista across the square. While the San Juan church gets the attention for its gilded altar, the Buen Viaje church has its own quiet dignity — a simpler interior, a bell tower that's good for orientation, and a distinctly less-visited atmosphere even by Remedios's already uncrowded standards.

The church's name — Good Journey — hints at its historical role as a place of prayer for travellers and sailors setting out from the north coast. It is typically open during mornings and before mass on Sundays. Worth a quick stop if you are already in the plaza.
