Interesting and guided visit, showing the two cloisters, the lower part of the convent and the church. Well explained by Manolo. The Church is larger than expected for a monastery and is very well preserved. The doors of the cloister and the nuns' communion room are interesting. As well as the tombs of the lords of Moguer. They preserve the original coffered ceiling in two rooms, as well as the choir stalls, from the 14th century.
