Excelente visita a este monasterio con un gran patrimonio digno de no perderse: los Santos Juanes de Martínez Montañés, las pinturas de Herrera el Viejo o Juan de Roelas, las exquisitas piezas de Juan de Astorga... La atención y pasión de Sor Bernarda, una de esos tan importantes custodios del patrimonio, hizo la visita todavía más agradable y enriquecedora. Por cierto, la mermelada buenísima!

Un lugar que como sevillana no conocía pero que merece 100% la pena. Un museo espectacular lleno de piezas de gran valor histórico y una iglesia súper elaborada y decorada. Las hermanas son súper atentas y te explican un poquito de historia del lugar.
