San Millán de la Cogolla: Yuso and Suso Monasteries
About 25 km from our accommodation in Grañón are the monasteries of Yuso and Suso, in San Millán de la Cogolla: place of birth of both Castilian and Euskera languages.
In its walls the oldest manuscripts of both languages are kept:
Suso, “the one above”, was built in the 6th century and successively extended until the 10th century, thus having Visigothic, Mozarabic and Romanesque styles.
Yuso, “the one below”, was built to expand the old monastery in the 11th century and was rebuilt between the 16th and 18th centuries. The Library and the Archive are remarkable, with more than 10.000 books… some of them really unique.
It’s highly advisable to reserve your ticket beforehand.
Santo Domingo de la Calzada
Santo Domingo de la Calzada is just 6 km from our accommodation, one of the gems of Camino de Santiago. The city grows around the Pilgrims Hospital founded by the Saint in the 11th and 12th centuries.
What to visit in Santo Domingo de la Calzada:
- The Cathedral: the altarpiece of Damián Forment, the crypt, the cloister, the sepulcher of the Saint and… the chicken coop!
- Bernardas Church, with a beautiful main altarpiece.
- The walls.
- Plaza de España and the Town Hall, building from the 18th century.
- The old Pilgrims Hospital, nowadays a Parador de Turismo.
- And, if you go in December: its medieval market!
Nájera
Nájera is a friendly city, capital of the former homonymous kingdom, with a lively culture, gastronomy and historical greatness that are reflected in its architectural richness.
One of the points of interest in Nájera is the Monastery of Santa María La Real: unique and spectacular. It was built in the 11th century around a cave where King García de Nájera arrived through the forest while looking for his falcon. The cave is still there and, at its doors, there is the mausoleum of the kings and infants of Nájera and Navarra, worth visiting.
We also recommend:
– La Santa Cruz Royal Chapel and Parish.
– Santa Elena Convent.
– Najerillense Archaeological Museum.
