[QUOTE="peregrina2000, post: 906209, member: 537"] Here are VN's comments about Santo Domingo de Silos [I]SdDS is one of those 'special' places, so it's a very good idea to spend an extra night here! It gives plenty of time to visit the exquisite cloister — and do give yourself a lot of time here because it's not something to be rushed. I only had about a half an hour before they closed and it was way too little time. And next time (being optimistic) I will stay for matins. The evening service was exquisite. One thing to consider if you spend a rest day here would be to walk over the hill on the GR82 to the Sad Hill Cemetery. Even if you're not into spaghetti westerns, it's quite a beautiful walk. After a long gradual uphill from town, the way there turns right and drops into the next valley over. If at this point you go straight, about 5 minutes away is a stunning view point. I've posted this picture before on the Forum, but it was a gobsmacking view! (It is also possible to go off-piste and pass by here the next day if you are willing to be a bit adventurous. More about this later.) I stayed at Casa Guzman, and don't have much memory of it, other than basically being satisfied. It's got a very central location and I vaguely remember a busy bar. Word to the wise: if you want to get an early start see if they will give you a care package the night before. I did not do this, blithely thinking I would subsist on what I was carrying until I got to Covarrubias — so it was a very hungry day because I took a wrong turn and never got there! I would love to stay for a retreat, but alas. (Actually in this case I totally understand the reason for that stipulation about gender and I'm not inclined to complain.)[/I] VN has also sent some beautiful pictures, but it is much easier for me to get them from my email to the forum when I am on my ipad and not my computer. So I will do that later when I leave my office and get home. [/QUOTE]
