Fairly beautiful but uneven visit - The visit is worth the history of the place and the paintings which depict it. The tapestries, on the other hand, are disappointing. Two interior gardens, perfectly maintained floors, Latin inscriptions to decipher. There are still 18 shoeless women in the Monastery. Go to mass to hear them sing.
