Hello - my friend Ann and I leave SJPP on April 22nd. I hoped to experience a monastery stay to attend mass and hear monks chants. I noted in my reading that for obvious reasons a couple of them are only open in summer. Is there a monastery that will be open in the April 22 - May 22 timeframe?

All that we are is the result of what we have thought.

Another monastery where you can stay and hear chants is San Salvador de Monte Irago in Rabanal del Camino. See more here--

If you're willing to go off path for a few days, the monastery and monks at Santa Domino de Silos offer a transcendent experience. You can't stay at the monastery (only men) but there are pensiones just opposite, and they have been chanting there 1000 years and made the Chant albums. It would mean two nights away and a short bus from Burgos.

Take Samos detour on way to Sarria. After evening mass ask monks if you can join their private vespers service. Nice.

And, spend night in Grañon, a very moving communal spiritual experience.

Buen camino.
