(Translated by Google) A place with history and good vibes If you're in the north of Burgos, stop by Medina de Pomar, which is steeped in history but not a typical run-down place. The town is quiet, with super photogenic medieval streets, good food, and a very nice local atmosphere. The highlight is the Merindades Historical Museum, which is located inside a real castle (the Alcázar de los Condestables). It's impressive from the outside. I didn't go inside the monastery, but it also looks very beautiful from the outside. Medina has its own vibe; it's ideal for a short getaway to unwind a bit. If you're into medieval times or just looking for somewhere different, this place has it all: a castle, hiking trails, relaxation, and good vibes. 👌 (Original) Un sitio con historia y buen rollo Si estás por el norte de Burgos, pásate por Medina de Pomar, que tiene mucha historia pero sin ser el típico lugar rancio. El pueblo es tranquilo, con calles medievales súper fotogénicas, buena comida y un ambientillo local muy majo. Lo más top es el Museo Histórico de las Merindades, que está dentro de un castillo de verdad (el Alcázar de los Condestables). Por fuera impone un montón. No entré al monasterio, pero desde fuera también se ve muy guapo. Medina tiene su rollo, es ideal para una escapada corta y desconectar un poco. Si te va lo medieval o simplemente buscas un sitio diferente, este lugar lo tiene todo: castillo, rutas, relax y buena onda. 👌
(Translated by Google) It doesn't offer things that will blow your mind, but its cheap price allows you to visit the castle, its rooms, archaeological and ethnographic museum and more things. Very good for an afternoon (yes, the elevator drove us crazy) and when we visited it housed the Disney and Barbie exhibition, which was a delight for my daughters. (Original) No ofrece cosas que te vuelen la cabeza, pero por su barato precio te permite visitar el castillo, sus salas, museo arqueológico, etnográfico y mas cosillas. Muy bien para echar lamtarde (eso si, el ascensor nos volvió locos) además cuando lo visitamos alojaba la exposición disney y de barbie, lo que fue un deleite para mis hijas.

(Translated by Google) It is located in the Alcázar of the Velasco family, or the Alcázar of the Constables. Dating from the late 14th century and strongly influenced by Muslims, it served both as a residence for the Velasco family and as a defense. Today, the building is dedicated entirely to illustrating the nature, history, and heritage of Las Merindades. (Original) Se ubica en el Alcázar de los Velasco o de Los Condestables.

My family and I stayed at the monastery as we were getting married nearby. I can’t thank Juncal enough for a better treatment and making our experience perfect. Honestly she went above and beyond to make us feel homely and relaxed. She was very attentive and my family and I had an amazing experience. The rooms we had booked were clean and had all the amenities we needed for the wedding. The breakfast was delicious and the sweets from the nuns are spectacular. Thank you very much again for all your support and looking forward to stay with you again.
A lot went on here over the years. The part that gets me is the "luggage room"....
Very nice place. Try the pastry of the nuns! Very good!!
Deliciously religious cookies
(Translated by Google) Incomparable monastic environment with a scant twenty of cloistered nuns who sell puff pastries that take away the hiccups in addition to other specialties. It is also an inn and they have very new rooms that have nothing to envy of the best hotels. The monastery also has a guided tour. Good place to spend a few days and from here visit the Merindades with its adjacent towns. (Original) Incomparable entorno monacal con una veintena escasa de monjas de clausura que venden unos hojaldres que quitan el hipo además de otras especialidades. Es también hospedería y tienen unas habitaciones muy nuevas que no tienen nada que envidiar a los mejores hoteles. El monasterio tiene también visita guiada. Buen lugar para pasar unos días y desde aquí visitar las Merindades con sus pueblos adyacentes.

(Translated by Google) We were lucky enough to take a guided tour of the Monastery of Santa Clara in Medina de Pomar as a family, with my husband, my brothers-in-law and our nephew. It was a truly enriching experience. The guide, Emilio, was simply exceptional: a true walking encyclopedia. He explained every corner of the monastery to us with so much detail and passion that it was impossible not to be fascinated by the history of the place. The monastery itself is an architectural and spiritual jewel, with centuries of history and an atmosphere that invites meditation. What made the visit even more special was discovering that the nuns who live there themselves make delicious puff pastry sweets, which can be purchased at the end of the tour. Totally recommended! An experience that is very worthwhile, both for the cultural value and for the human charm that those who make it possible put into it. (Original) Tuvimos la suerte de hacer una visita guiada al Monasterio de Santa Clara en Medina de Pomar en familia, con mi esposo, mis cuñados y nuestro sobrino. Fue una experiencia verdaderamente enriquecedora. El guía, Emilio, fue simplemente excepcional: una auténtica enciclopedia andante. Nos explicó cada rincón del monasterio con tanto detalle y pasión que fue imposible no quedar fascinados por la historia del lugar. El monasterio en sí es una joya arquitectónica y espiritual, con siglos de historia y un ambiente que invita al recogimiento. Lo que hizo aún más especial la visita fue descubrir que las propias monjas que viven allí elaboran unos dulces de hojaldre deliciosos, que se pueden comprar al finalizar el recorrido. ¡Totalmente recomendados! Una experiencia que vale mucho la pena, tanto por el valor cultural como por el encanto humano que le ponen quienes la hacen posible.

Stunning castle full of history. We loved the permanent exhibition and we found the Disney and Barbie once’s really nice for kids. Very friendly staff in particular Maria that was fantastic!
The staff were friendly and could speak english. It cost €4 per adult and you get an audio guide. There is currently a Disney display on the ground floor and a Barbie display on the top floor of the north tower. There are, of course, more period appropriate displays which you really need the audio guide for in order to enhance your experience. There is an elevator to you between the floors if you can't manage the steps.
A pleasant town to grab a coffee.
It was interesting.

We saw the one about Tadeo Jones and Egypt, very suitable for children and families. (Original) Todos los veranos vamos tienen exposiciones temáticas nuevas y audio guía muy bien caracterizada, nosotros vimos la de Tadeo Jones y Egipto muy apto para niños y familia

(Translated by Google) She is the Patroness of Medina, and the hermitage is beautiful, the environment that surrounds it is also worth it with the river next to it (Original) Es la Patrona de Medina, y esta preciosa la ermita ,el entorno que la rodea también merece la pena con el río al lado
(Translated by Google) The church of Santa María del Salcinar y del Rosario is located in a place of unparalleled scenic beauty, surrounded by green areas and large gardens that surround the Trueba River, on the Paseo de la Virgen. It is one of the most important, if not the most important, of the rural temples for funerary purposes that exist in the province of Burgos, and can be classified as a church - pantheon due to the considerable number of burials it presents. In its origins it was called Santa María del Salcinar, but y del Rosario was added to it after the triumph of the battle of Lepanto on October 7, 1571, the date of its festival, and after the Virgin of the Rosary was taken as the patron saint of the Medinese. Currently, it is the image of the patron saint that presides over the church altar. The church appears named in very ancient documents, among which is the “Carta Puebla” or “Fueros” granted by Alfonso VII in the mid-12th century to Medina de Pomar, calling it a sworn church. Romanesque remains are preserved in the capitals and the window on the north side of the so-called "bull's eye". Its construction is the product of works and reconstructions from different periods, which is why it presents different styles: Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque. The interior is organized into three naves of almost equal height, the central one being wider. They are divided into four sections of different dimensions that end in a header, also with three naves. Its head stands out, which has been greatly renovated throughout the 16th and 17th centuries and in which there are different chapels. (Original) La iglesia de Santa María del Salcinar y del Rosario está ubicada en un paraje de inigualable belleza paisajística, rodeada de zonas verdes y amplios jardines que contornean el río Trueba, en el Paseo de la Virgen. Es uno de los más importantes, si no el más importante, de los templos rurales a efectos funerarios que existen en la provincia de Burgos, pudiéndosele catalogar como iglesia – panteón por el considerable número de enterramientos que presenta. En sus orígenes se llamaba Santa María del Salcinar, pero se le añadió y del Rosario tras el triunfo de la batalla de Lepanto el 7 de octubre de 1571, fecha de su festividad, y tras tomarse la Virgen del Rosario como patrona de los medineses. En la actualidad, es la imagen de la patrona la que preside el altar de la iglesia. La iglesia aparece nombrada en documentos antiquísimos, entre los que se encuentra la propia “Carta Puebla” o “Fueros” concedidos por Alfonso VII a mediados del siglo XII a Medina de Pomar, tildando a esta como iglesia juradera. De ella se conservan restos románicos en los capiteles y la ventana del lado norte de las llamadas "ojo de buey". Su factura es producto de obras y reconstrucciones de distintas épocas por lo que presenta estilos distintos: gótico, renacentista y barroco. El interior está ordenado en tres naves de casi igual altura, siendo más ancha la central. Están repartidas en cuatro tramos de dimensión diferenciada que se rematan en una cabecera, también de tres naves. Destaca su cabecera, que se muestra muy reformada a lo largo de los siglos XVI y XVII y en la que se encuentran diferentes capillas.
