Having
read
descriptions
of
this
convent
in
the
pages
of
travel
guides
and
having
read
opinions
and
reviews
from
Tripadvisor
I
decided
to
visit
the
convent
to
form
a
personal
view.
The
particular
day
and
time
I
visited
the
guided
tour
was
available
in
Spanish
only.
I
do
not
know
whether
English
speaking
tours
are
available
in
other
days
from
direct
experience
but
since
the
Pocket
Rough
Guide
says
that
some
tours
are
in
English
I
assume
that
this
is
the
case.
The
tour
got
us
through
this
place
whose
sombre
exterior
is
matched
by
an
equally
sombre
interior
where
one
can
see
very
serious
and
heavy
handed
paintings
of
Spanish
royalty
as
well
as
statues
devoted
to
Catholic
worship.
One
room
contains
elaborate
boxes
made
of
glass
which
contain
skulls
and
bones
of
saints
preserved
for
posterity
and
decorated
with
dried
flowers.
It
is
a.
Strange
form
of
art,
when
one
is
not
used
to
it
and
since
I
do
not
understand
Spanish
I
lost
the
explanations
of
the
tour
guide.
He
was
speaking
a
lot
and
in
detailed
manner
so
I
assume
he
conveyed
a
mass
of
information
to
those
able
to
understand.
The
tour
ends
inside
a
church/chapel
which
is
beautiful.
In
general
the
ambiance
is
serious
and
sombre
but
if
someone
wants
to
experience
how
Hispanic
baroque
religiosity
felt
like
this
is
the
place
to
visit.
