It has become an annual event for me and, unfortunately, at my rather advanced age, I may not have many more. Sorry I did not discover it many years ago.

The link is here: http://www.abadiadesilos.es/activida.htm Lunes is Monday in Spanish and Domingo is Sunday. The days in-between on the table correspond to the days of the week from Monday to Sunday. Does that help answer your question? @velda – I took a look at the official site of the monks and found the following link with the times of the various services for the public. The link is here:

Lunes is Monday in Spanish and Domingo is Sunday. The days in-between on the table correspond to the days of the week from Monday to Sunday.

Does that help answer your question?

My husband and I will be in Santo Domingo de Silos in May and want to hear the monks chant. My Lonely Planet guidebook says they chant every day at 9AM and at 1PM on Saturdays and at noon on Sundays. You mention a 7PM Vespers. Do you know the official chant times/dates or where I can find out? I looked at one monastery website but it was in Spanish and I did not see anything that seemed to address my question (I do not speak/read Spanish). We are planning our trip and want to be sure we are there at a time that makes sense. Thanks in advance for any advice. Velda Hi Chris,

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.
