cartuja de miraflores印象

This is about 3 kilometres out of town, but if you are into walking then it is a great walk. As others have indicated it is a working monastery (and so there may be a service when you get there, which restricts access) and contains a wonderful sepulchre, which takes your breath away as well as an interesting video display at the conclusion of the visit. When you have finished viewing the monastery, instead of walking straight back to town, follow a small track to the right of the main entrance (i.e. in the opposite direction you came from) and there is a beautiful walk that ends up in a caravan park. After crossing the road, head for the river and then stroll along the river back into town.

the stunning retablos and tombs by Gil de Siloe are better than anything in the Burgos cathedral. The peaceful beauty of this living monastery is a gift to the spirit.

In the outskirts of Burgos and by far less interesting than the Monastery of Las Huelgas, the Cartuja de Miraflores houses the elaborate altarpiece and royal mausoleum of the parents of Isabella I of Castile by artist Gil de Siloe as well as the tomb of her brother.

It would be very hard to get here without private transportation, but don't miss the opportunity to see one of the most intricate and beautiful carved alabaster tombs that I have ever soon. There was not a fee to enter, but for 2 euros there is a guide book you van buy in English that tells of all the background of the treasures that you will see... Most notably the magnificent alter and the large tomb of King Juan II and his second wife Isabela of Portugal. Juan was the father of Queen Isabella who married Ferdinand. The tomb sits in the center of the naive and is extremely intricate with decorations and smaller statues. Next to this is the Mausoleum of Prince Alfonso, Isabella's brother. Both extremely photo worthy.The monastery has a very intimate feel, is not too large, and can be seem in approx. 45 minutes at the most. There are 20 monks who still live and worship here, but as they choose a life of study and silence, you don't have the opportunity to see or talk to any of these monks in their white robes with hoods. There is plenty of explanatory signs in English so that you understand this very beautiful place.

Half the fun was getting here, strolling along the river walk, walking through the lush forest, and then the monastery looms before you. The admission fee is low, one tours on one's own, so you can take as much or as little time as you like (in contrast to Huelgas...see my review of that place). The tomb of the King and Queen is breathtaking, and among the finest pieces anywhere in Spain. The displays are superb, the explanations excellent, and this is one place that will not tire you out. In fact, we wished there was more. And when we were done, back into the lovely forest and down to the river walk. A perfect few hours in the loveliest area of Burgos that too many tourists don't even realize is there.

The entrance is free, but you're invited to give a free contribution. Contains a small but interesting museum. The best way from the center of the city of Burgos is a long walk along the river.

It is a very small monastery in the outskirt of Burgos. One might need to drive there as I don't see any public transportation nearby. The highlight is a beautiful tomb of a Spanish king and Queen and their son.

Would go there again. Beautiful woodwork; great art. You should get a good guide or audioguide to explain the history that is behind this treasure of a monastery
-
It took us 1.5hrs on foot because no bus service from city centre during the winter. Its interior was well kept. Some knowledges on the Middle Age history would be a help.

A few kilometers east of town, you need some wheels to get there. 20 monks, under vow of silence, reside at this place. You'll. never see them. The carved sephulcre of the donors and the altar wall are miraculous.Toward the end, there is a video exhibit showing the scattering of artworks stolen from the monetary. Quote interesting.
