    Monasteries on the Norte

    I'm gathering info, but a lot of it is outdated. I'd love to know of any monasteries on the Norte where pilgrims can stay, or even where we can hear Matins, Vespers, Compline - if the brothers sing. Are there any convents? I have written to the monastery at Zenarrusa to find out if it is...
