Search hotels in Santo Domingo de Silos

The monastery is worth visiting. It has a beautiful cloister, as shown in the picture. It is a short visit, with some important artwork. The town is quaint, with lots of places to eat. It is definitely worth visiting the other two sister towns: Covarrubias and Lerma - Covarrubias is much more breathtaking. Sto Domingo de Silos is also near the recreation of "Good, Bad and Ugly" Sad Hill Cemetery. If you're a Clint Eastwood or Spaghetti Western fan, it's a must visit. Ideal weekend getaway just 2h away from Madrid and very close to the city of Burgos.

Very nice room and restaurant, can really recommend the lamb, Hotel manager was very helpful in showing us the best route to Sad Hill cemetery (Good the Bad & the Ugly film location) The Abbey & Monastery is also worth a visit ATM machine in the village.

This is a very small town dominated by the monastery. It is a lovely town with old buildings and narrow streets which are lovely to wander around. We visited in the middle of September and at no time did it seem very busy. We visited the monastery . It has lovely cloisters and some interesting artefacts. There are some great walks locally and the roads are super for cycling, being in good condition without much traffic. el desfiladero La Yecla , with it's resident vultures, is worth a visit. We walked there from the town but if you want to visit in a car it has a large car park. There is a lot of publicity given to the Sad Hill Cemetery and you can walk or drive there from the town. Be warned that the road is mainly loose gravel and much of it passes through an area where a fire destroyed the trees in 2022. We walked to the Mirador, which has great views ,but didn't get to the cemetery itself. The roman ruins at Clunia are well worth a visit as is the beautiful small town of Covarrubias.
