Lonely Planet review

Only Carmelite nuns may enter the 16th-century Convento de San Bernardo, but visitors can approach the blindingly whitewashed adobe building (consider sunglasses) to admire the carved, 18th-century algarrobo door. The nuns sell pastries through a traditional revolving cupboard that avoids their having direct contact with the outside world.
