There are still beautiful remains of this Gothic convent. The remains encourage meditation on the time factor in our lives.

A lovely ruined monastery you pass shortly before reaching Castrojeriz, where you can choose to spend the night in the very basic pilgrims hostel. There is also a small gift/tea stall where you can rest and admire the ruins.

A former important monastery for the care of pilgrims. The impressive remains often contain the "Tau" symbol of the Franciscans. What is disturbing is the fact that the country road leads directly through the old portal arch. It would be pretty cool to spend the night in the albergue in the middle of the ruins. A truly moving pilgrim stop!
