Working chambers

⦁ The friars met Chris in this comfortably sized room to debate and speculate on navigation and cartography. He and the Bish also entertained prospective investors and potential plaintiffs for the case, no doubt at at minimalist (because of the vow of poverty,) but exquisitely prepared banquets. They jointly worked out a plan to present to the Spanish Queen, including crucially much evidence from previous visitors. And so it came to pass that they received a Royal charter , some money and various promises for the distribution of the future wealth to be appropriated en route.
In 1992, in celebration of the 500th anniversary of Christopher Columbus's voyage of discovery, there was a meeting of the Spanish council of ministers (cabinet), presided over by King Juan Carlos I, in this room.
⦁ The courtyard was for the private use of the Brothers,
⦁ the white cloister is in the guests courtyard.
⦁ The refectory is more than adequate for 12 + guest. The size of the beer tankard reminds us that low alcohol beer was drunk all day not to become intoxicated but to avoid pollution from the local water.
⦁ As for the bedroom! This cell is larger than my van and equally comfortable.Weiterlesen
