Thank you Falcon, my husband keeps talking about a Camino where he gets to stay in monasteries and I had sadly resigned myself to let him do that alone in fear they wouldn't allow women at the monasteries... but thanks to your link I can see they do! So thank you!!!!
Thanks, Falcon, you post some interesting articles that we, the broader Camino community, would never come across otherwise.
@Gueza - sometimes monasteries only allow women The term monastery is derived from the same Greek word 'monazein' as monasticism and means to 'dwell alone'. It relates to both monks and nuns who live a contemplative life and who are cloistered (shut off from the world -> living along). It is a common misconception that monasteries are for monks and convents are for nuns.
