Incredible location, surrounded by the calm waters of the marshes, we heard the afternoon mass in a small church but presided over by an excellent altarpiece with the image of the "Divina Pastora". An extraordinary place

Monastery or convent on the shores of the Santoña marshes, where the Capuchin fathers currently reside, declared a national monument in 1981, it hides the remains of Doña Begoña Blomberg, mother of Don Juan of Austria and lover of Emperor Charles V

We tried to visit it inside but it was not possible, there was no indication and almost everything was closed. The environment and the forest that surrounds it is beautiful.

The location is beautiful but the monastery, or the church part at least, gave me quite a bad feeling. Without a doubt, it's great for taking photos of the entire surroundings, but not that it's the monastery, it seemed of little interest to me.

It is worth making a stop to visit it. The path to get there is a little narrow, it is not very long so it is not easy to meet another one in front of you, but… There is a small parking lot. When we went it was closed, so we saw it from the outside, and we went down to the marshes through the stairs in front. You have to go down carefully as the stairs are a little slippery. The views are beautiful and there is a short walk.

Rosenborg Castle

Rosenborg Palace was built in the period 1606-34 as Christian IV’s summerhouse just outside the ramparts of Copenhagen. Christian IV was very fond of the palace and often stayed at the castle when he resided in Copenhagen, and it was here that he died in 1648. After his death, the palace passed to his son King Frederik III, who together with his queen, Sophie Amalie, carried out several types of modernisation.

The last king who used the place as a residence was Frederik IV, and around 1720, Rosenborg was abandoned in favor of Frederiksborg Palace.Through the 1700s, considerable art treasures were collected at Rosenborg Castle, among other things items from the estates of deceased royalty and from Christiansborg after the fire there in 1794.

Soon the idea of a museum arose, and that was realised in 1833, which is The Royal Danish Collection’s official year of establishment.
