On the morning of May 7, 2009, we visited the monastery of San Juan de la Peña (Saint John of the Rock) which is located southwest of Jaca, Huesca, Spain. San Juan de la Peña was one of the most important monasteries in Aragon during the Middle Ages. Early in the morning we hiked around the forested area near the upper level Baroque monastery. When the lower level Romanesque monastery opened, we took a bus down the road to visit it. The Old Monastery of San Juan de la Peña is about 7 km from Santa Cruz de los Serós. Camouflaged in a rock escarpment, this jewel of a Romanesque styled Royal Monastery stands out with its impressive cloister, whose capitals bring together beauty and originality. I took this photograph of Joanne as she was headed up a walkway to the right of the monastery that led to a scenic viewpoint above it. Temperatures were in the high 60's on this partly cloudy morning.
