This beautiful monastery is over a thousand years old and is home to a group of singing monks whose Gregorian chants became popular world wide.

Whilst most will visit to marvel at the architecture and hear the monks chant at prayer, the most powerful experience to be had at Silos is to step outside the noise and distraction of modern life and embrace a silent journey, retreating and discerning who you are and what you would be. The monks follow the Rule of Saint Benedict and to be welcomed into their community is an experience that I will forever cherish and never forget.
4. Cartuja de Miraflores
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 1,371 reviews
Miraflores was originally a hunting lodge built by King Enrique III at the beginning of the 15th century and then converted into a monastery by the Carthusian monks, who continue there today. The remarkable church is considered one of the principal monuments of the city of Burgos and contains a royal mausoleum that is the final resting place of King Juan II and his wife Queen Isabel, parents of Queen Isabel "La Catolica". Visitors can look forward to an extraordinary experience of silence, peace and beauty.

I walked from Burgos Cathedral to Cartuja de Miraflores and enjoyed the scenery. The monastery has been wonderfully restored and has succinct details which explain the history of Burgos, Spanish royalty, and the Carthusians. Rich with history but not overwhelming. Great staff as well. An unexpected gift - upon leaving the sanctuary and entering the courtyard, the monks began to sing their afternoon prayers. Gorgeous!
