About this audio guide
This guide to the Campo del Principe in Granada centers on the Cristo de los Favores, a stone crucifix whose right arm is carved stretched out as if still warning someone off. It follows the local legend of Dolores, nicknamed La Perla, who brought fresh flowers to the crucifix every Friday afternoon, and one particular Friday when she knelt here alone in prayer. Stand where she is said to have knelt, and look at the angle of that stone arm before you move on.
