Description:
17TH CENTURY AUGUSTINIAN CONVENT Founded by the Lords of Chinchón in the 17th c., this
former Augustinian convent protects its monumental heritage in that of the old
quarter of Chinchón, with its emblematic Plaza Mayor. In this framework, the
cypress trees, roses and privets of the garden offer a beautiful picture, with
the addition of a splendid cloister and softened by the blue of its swimming
pool. Walls with a Renaissance stamp, large windows and vaults, classical and
Castilian style furniture, and its pleasant, spacious bedrooms make up the inner
space, which is characterized by an atmosphere of peace and quiet. The dining
room offers 'sopa de ajo' (garlic soup), suckling pig and roast lamb and the
typical 'cocido madrileño' (Madrid-style garbanzo bean stew).
