It's interesting to know that. @Vincent – Thanks for the information, I didn’t realize that you could stay at the monastery. It’s interesting to know that.

As a past pilgrim to Santiago I have stayed there three times and found it so relaxing and exhilirating at the same time. One learns how to "switch off" and that life outside those walls is something to escape from now and then. One must also learn how to spend a good part of one's time in complete silence and contemplate just how we need "time out".

It's a very small village and really can be seen in just one day. I do believe there are a pair of small "hostels/hotels" in the village though. @Jenny – Honestly, I just was in Silos for the day.
