Nearby are the famous "Casas Colgadas" (Hanging Houses) and the Museum of Spanish Abstract Art.

The former chapel and the cloister of the convent is now a cafeteria bringing the friendly life back to the building.

The interior decor combines the traditional elements with more contemporary features such as wicker and leather upholstery.

The welcoming bedrooms are comfortable and some have splendid views of the gorge and the "Casas Colgadas".
