Tui: Fish cookies from nuns on Sunday?

[Kasee]

I’m arriving in Tui tomorrow morning and just realized that it’s a Sunday. Will I still be able to buy cookies from the nuns at the Convento de las Clarisas?

I suspect you will. Have you had them before?

My last encounter:

The whole nun-baking thing

Right, I’ve already been pulled-up for making an unsubstantiated claim, with this audience it is to be expected - and Kathar1na’s not showed up yet ...

I haven’t and think the whole thing is just so fun—even if a bit expensive. Thanks for your link. I hope to be in luck tomorrow.

@henrythedog thanks for the good info about the cookies! Just FYI, the Poor Clare nuns are part of the Franciscan family, ie St. Clare was a companion of St. Francis of Assisi and began the cloistered Poor Clares while Francis was beginning the Order of Friars Minor. The Benedictines are another religious order and follow the Rule of St. Benedict.

Having been to Assisi - and stayed in a convent - I really should have known that. Thanks.

@henrythedog omg! Father Ted— I gotta pull up some shows… haha— you are right—there might be a 3-legged race- and it would surely end in chaos

And I was able to buy the cookies!

How did they taste?

They were delightful! I think they’re made with some almond flour. I had a couple, then left them in the kitchen in my albergue. Gone in a flash!

I have visited several Turno in my travels, Madrid, Seville and Palma come to mind. Thanks for sharing about this one, though now you have me contemplating yet another Camino to visit. While not using a Turno, I remember findly visiting a cloistered convent in Hollywood (sin city) to buy delicious pumpkin bread from the nuns.

There is one in Madrid and the cookies were awesome.
