MONASTERY-HOSPITAL Construction
began around 1515 on this monumental building, which features a Spanish
Plateresque façade. The past makes its appearance in the Cloister, Church, Choir
and Chapterhouse, and the present in the careful renovation-work, combined with
an interior filled with works of art and rooms which gave shelter to pilgrims in
times of old. A night´sstay here is truly a luxury, offering: suites with views
of the cloister, stately rooms, and a restaurant which offers: Cocido Maragato
(stew), frog legs, beef sweetbreads, cured beef and goat meats and mountain
meats.
