Very nice monastery, but you really can't enter it. They are Carthusian monks. They lock themselves in a vault and only meet on Sundays. Very special to look at the monastery from a distance. There is a very special and serene peace.

A magical place of worship, it cannot be visited but from the outside you can see all its beauty and splendor. All that is asked is respect and silence for the monks inside praying for everyone. + Info on Youtube: foodwheelsyt

Building dedicated to worship, not visitable, but a magnificent jewel of architecture with which to delight the view from the top of the mountain, along a wonderful access road. The views are very worth it

Beautifully maintained 13th century charter house and monastery. It is tucked away in a valley about 20 miles north of Valencia and about 5 miles past Betera. A good, though narrow, road will get you there. It’s a popular cycling route so mind the cyclists. It doesn’t appear that you can get on the grounds but you can hike to a great vantage point in a few minutes from the road. Driving farther up you can park and hike past the aqueduct that is still there, orange groves, kiwi tree orchards and more. Combined with a hike to the spring up the hill about a mile this makes fir a fun outing they most tourists will miss. Take time to smell the rosemary and thyme that is everywhere!

Please note, there is no access to the monastery. You can only look at it from a distance, very pretty, and good walking in the surrounding hills.
