The real magic lies in the breathtaking views where the mountains meet the sea. Whether you’re grabbing a coffee to soak in the scenery or capturing the perfect shot for your archives, it’s an experience that stays with you. During the summer, the abbey comes alive with concerts and cultural events—the perfect blend of history and art.
