Frommer's Review
This huge twin-towered baroque church -- also known as La Colegiata from its early days as part of a Jesuit college -- acted as a substitute cathedral from 1885 until the completion of the Almudena. Designed by Pedro Sánchez in the style of the Gesu in Rome, and built by Francisco Bautista in the 17th century, it shelters the remains of Madrid's patron saint San Isidro and his wife, Santa María de la Cabeza. On the Thursday of Easter week, their two images are taken out and paraded around the streets of Madrid.

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
