Excellent tour

Very good tour, it is very worth visiting the monastery, the center with the explanation and the history gives a better context and then closing with the viewpoints for photos was spectacular. Very good job Milagros, our guide.

Different, unique

Very beautiful, and preserved as is, very different from the rest of the convents. Recommendable. Monastic life is seen before and after the reform.
