Remarkable and beautiful monastery set into the side of a cliff. Must do if visiting Nejer, it is along the el Camino path. Magnificent in its opulence and vastness. Full of remarkable features. All for 5 eros. 4 euros if you are 65+ . Parking outside the building not permitted. Parking possible nearby within easy walking distance. Beautiful monastery to see! Although it came out of use at some point, it was restored and there is a lot to see. The cave chapel is very impressive. We were lucky to get a tour of the choir by a lovely kind lady from the admission office. Although it was in Spanish, she gave us little pamphlets in our respective languages and she spoke about the choir (beautiful masterpiece) well and clearly, so that we still could understand it with our limited language knowledge. This old monastery was worth every minute. As a pilgrim, I took a 45-minute break and wandered through its beautiful old rooms and walls of Gothic and Romanesque style. Entrance was only 4€ for pilgrims and the audio guide in many languages, truly informative and entertaining. A unexpected jewel on the Camino. The stamp is also really beautiful. Lovely place to visit and learn about the history of the monastery and town. With the free app you can get an audio guide in your own language. It is so beautiful and worth a visit, especially to see the chickens! Interesting building in an uninteresting town. Worth the visit if passing. One of the best monasteries I have ever been to. Said by the guy who visited few hundreds of monasteries of all religions worldwide. Burrial place of the kings and noblemen of Navarre. So, absolutely must see if you are visiting Rioja region. Take time also to climb up the hill behind the monastery for great views of Najera Website change monitoring Monitor any webpage for changes – get instant email alerts when prices drop, new jobs are posted, products come back in stock, or competitors update their sites.
