I spent two nights there last April. Feel blessed to have been there.

I'm so looking forward to the visit.

The monks sell t-shirts!?!?!?

 

[Bala]

Haha, actually, I think they do, in the gift shop where you enter to tour the cloister and museum. I seem to recall thinking to myself, I should really get one of those. But I restrained and forgot about it until just now. Darn! A t-shirt from a 1,000 year old monastery and I passed it up! What was I thinking!

They also have plenty of their CDs on hand. And their silver record for their best-selling album "Chant" hangs proudly on the wall. Oops, they are monks, so maybe I should say it hangs in humble gratitude on the wall....

Wonderful place.

I want one! But I doubt they come in XXXL for me. I am right sizing in saying this, knowing how skimpy Spanish camiseta sizing tends to run.

Will look into this...

Thanks rev...

And the Lana, and the El Cid, and the GR82.
You're spoiled for choice, @LTfit . It's a fantastic walk, however you go.
Coming up from the Lana, treat yourself and leave SDdS on the GR 82, over the hill past the Sad Hill Cemetery site, through Contreras...when you get to the road, there's choice. Rt for a km or so to the ruins of San Pedro de Arlanza, left towards Covarrubias. Then onward on the San Olav over another hill to the Lara Valley...dino footprints, Santa Maria de Lara, and much more. Wonderful walking.

I want one!

I'm toying with the idea of going back there in May, @t2andreo . If I do I'll see if I can get you one and leave it with @SYates in Santiago. PM me your and color preferences....

Thank you very much.

But seriously, it is not necessary.

However, I do appreciate the kind offer.
