Monastery of San Salvador de Leyre

Essential Leyre: History, Heritage, and Flavors

At the Leyre Monastery, heritage is explored and understood. This experience offers a guided tour of one of Navarre's most emblematic monastic complexes, delving into its history, architecture, and the spiritual significance that has shaped its evolution over time. The tour reveals monastic life and its connection to the natural environment surrounding the Leyre mountain range.

The experience concludes with a tasting of products linked to the monastery. You can choose between Leyre liqueur, handcrafted by the Benedictine community, accompanied by txantxigorri cake and another traditional sweet; or a glass of rosé wine with a monastic pintxo of cheese with quince paste. A proposal that integrates culture, tradition, and gastronomy into a single experience.
