The monastery is in the centre of Andújar, a small town thirty miles from Córdoba. Originally an Iberian settlement named Illiturgo, it was destroyed by Scipio during the Punic Wars. The monastery features 8 beds in two rooms, a double room and a dorm with 4/6 beds. The bath is shared. Both men and women are welcome.
A very important date in the history of the monastery is 1680. At that time, Andújar suffered from an epidemic of cholera. According to tradition, one of the sisters had a vision of Mary who told her that in order to stop the epidemic, the clergy had to redeem itself. The “licentious” comedies represented in town had to be stopped. They were and shortly afterwards, the epidemic passed. Every year since then there has been a solemn procession to celebrate the Virgin on the date of the immaculate conception.
