The Guadalupe Monastery, a World Heritage Site, is the jewel in the crown of the geopark. This imposing spiritual centre, a favourite retreat of Isabella the Catholic, captivates visitors as much for its imposing architecture as for its Hispanic Heritage Day.

But its charm doesn’t end within its walls: its historic site It is a maze of traditional narrow streets, cantilevered balconies and centuries-old arcades that developed alongside the pilgrimages.

A magical little corner that smells of history, blood sausage and muédago rolls.
