Monastery of San Juan de la Pena

Reviewed By AlbertSalichs - Manresa, Spain

Monastery of San Juan de la Peña (really two monasteries, the old and new ones) is located in the surroundings of Jaca, on mountains. In fact, it is also a picnic place, where can come all family to stay a day with a childen park and picnic tables close to the parking. Also, near the parking there is the new monastery, where you can see remains and a exposition about the history of old and new ones. Really interesting. After, we catch a bus to go to the old monastery (some kilometers far) and we could visit it in a guided visit. It is a building inside the rocks, so it is wonderful and curious. The guided visit was very interesting and the last cloister is fantastic. A very recommendable visit.
