SPRING IN SPAIN - 2006 NAVARRA THE BENEDICTINE (SOMETIME CISTERCIAN) ABBEY OF SAN SALVADOR DE LEYRE
|
|||||||||||||
|
At the end of May 2006 the Abbey was being unseasonably buffeted by the cold and very strong (like difficult to stand up in) winds called the Cierzo, usually associated with March!! Despite this the quality of the Gregorian chanted evensong was beautiful. |

A chest containing remains of the early kings of Navarra, whose pantheon this was. |

Near Yesa (which is on one branch of the Camino, and is at the start of the road up to the Leyre monastery) is the newish Hotel Señorio de Monjardin (tel 948 88 41 88), which provided a friendly base for our drives around Navarre (but no internet!).
The hotel has a good restaurant (the Restaurante Irati) run by Jose Maria Mendiola Múgica, a friendly and communicative young Basque who is also an excellent chef, and with whom Dom P had several interesting discussions without common language ! |
