We went to the Monasterio del Corpus Christi las Carboneras to buy cookies from the cloistered nuns, but a sign on the door said no sweets until Monday.

When we went inside the church, I was surprised that even a little church still had gold-covered altars and ornate paintings.

Close-up of a worn brown wooden door with metal studs and a laminated sign taped to the center panel. The sign is printed in both Spanish and English and reads: “No hay dulces hasta el LUNES. There are not Sweets until MONDAY. THANK YOU.” The door’s aged texture and chipped paint add a rustic character to the scene.Full view of a tall, dark brown wooden door set in a stone frame, featuring a pattern of square and diamond-studded panels. A small laminated notice is posted on one side of the door. A security camera is mounted above, and a “Mind your head” warning label is attached to the door lintel. The weathered surface and heavy design convey a sense of historical weight.Interior of a richly decorated chapel featuring an elaborate golden altarpiece with religious statues and paintings. Rows of wooden pews are filled with seated visitors facing the altar. The warm yellow walls, arched ceilings, and framed religious art contribute to a peaceful and reverent atmosphere.
