I am always looking for a way to break the guide books, detours, walkabouts, deviations well changes in program, reading on the Cistercians, history and architecture, and what do I find? Situated only 7.5 km off the Camino from Estella? Nothing less then the Monasterio Santa Maria de Iranzu. Has anyone visited this marvelous place? Google Earth shows only a trudge next to the road N 120 due north of Estella. The hours are available on the website below. Is there accomodation there for pilgrims? 7.5 km is an easy jaunt, 15 back and forth plus some hours to admire the monastery but would be much more pleasant to stay there and come back next morning
