Walk
Take your time and explore the city’s main highlights.
Old Town
In the old town, cobbled lanes, small squares and historic buildings quietly tell their stories. When soft light filters through the streets, it becomes a place where walking alone is enough to loosen the mind and invite calm.
Cathedral
The cathedral, the city’s spiritual centre, carries great dignity in its massive stone structure and Romanesque character. Entering through the Portico of Paradise, one encounters a silence that still evokes centuries of faith.
San Francisco Monastery
Simple and harmonious, this monastery is a place wrapped in silence. Walking through its cloister, time seems to slow, footsteps become softer, and the stillness gently leads the mind towards reflection.
Savour
