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.

This is a great place to observe cliffs, the small canyon, and vultures. It is located 12 kilometres from Santo Domingo de Silos. The place is well taken care off with stairs and handrails. It is just a 15 minute-walk with beautiful and relaxing views.
3. Sad Hill Cemetery

Reviewed By JesLon - Valladolid, Spain
Thanks to the efforts of the Sad Hill Cultural Association the location for the final scene of "The Good, the bad and the ugly" is getting recognisable once again. When we did the visit we saw the restoration team working on it, adding more tombs around the central circle. Accesible from Santo Domingo de Silos through a dirt road, in a slow 4 km drive, that takes you exactly down the cemetery. There are some indicators from the village, but you have to be careful not to miss them. As a work in process probably it will improve over time, although maybe losing its isolation quietness in the process. A worth detour in your journey, if only because of the beatiful landscape. And it would also make for good hiking opportunity from Silos, as there are so many routes around.
