“Indrukwekkende Cathedraal en aangrenzend klooster. Vooral kerk erg sober ingericht (de orde die deze boiwde was niet van ornamentering) maar enorm van afmetinge met een paar mooie praalgraven. Aangrenzend klooster was ook groot met verschillende binnentuinen en kloostergangen, zalen en oude keuken. Gids (J.P.) was kundig, vertelde duidelijk en wist vragen goed te beantwoorden. Hij had na afloop nog wat goede tips voor leker eten en gebakjes in de directe omgeving.”
