The Monks’ Garden: A Bridge between Earthly and Divine Beauty

Abadía Retuerta is the custodian of history, a place where its monastery — which has stood in silence and constant majesty over the last millennium — meets nature itself, which is ever turning and changing all around it.

The monks who lived on this ancient estate would toil the land, grow their own vegetables and tend to the beautiful gardens here on the banks of the River Duero. As part of our commitment to this landscape, we decided to revive the estate’s gardens: unlike the abbey buildings, the gardens are changeable, ephemeral constructions that serve as a bridge between earthly and divine beauty.
