Santa Catalina Convent

I spent about an hour and a half wandering through the Convento de Santa Catalina today, most of which is open to the public, although I understand there are still nuns cloistered away there. It’s an absolutely charming place, although the old cooking areas bear a striking resemblance to medieval dungeons. Those pictures didn’t come out so well due to the dark, so I posted pictures of the more inviting areas instead. Just before leaving it started to drizzle, as it has been for my entire trip, but the overcast skies and cool breeze made for great sight-seeing weather.
