Camino, day off: Carrion de los Condes

August 09, 2015 by Larry Malam

Hotel Real Monasterio San Zoilo, Carrion de los Condes.

When I got to this oasis, a hotel that might as well be a museum, I decided I just had to stay an extra night and rest my feet. I'm in heaven, a 16th century monastery converted into a hotel. It still has its active chapel (actually a large and beautifully adorned church), several courtyards, a crypt, and a small museum housing capitals and other artifacts recovered during the renovation. And it's quiet, peaceful, and timeless, a perfect place to lie around and do nothing. And including a lavish buffet breakfast it's less than $65 a night. I'm getting very spoiled. Only slight drawback is it's over a km into town each way so I'll make that trip a couple of times. Dinner here costs more than the night's stay.
