The Convent of Santa Clara de Castrojeriz, located in the province of Burgos, is one of the most emblematic monuments of this town on the Camino de Santiago. Founded in the 13th century, this convent of Poor Clare nuns has maintained a continuous presence since its inception, making it one of the oldest still-operating convents in Castile.

At the entrance to the venerable Poor Clare monastery stands a baroque holy water font. What's inside?
A disinfectant dispenser.
No holy water. No blessing. Just hygiene.
Do people here still believe in the Real Presence – or just in the bacterial load?
The Camino leads not only over mountains, but also through the abysses of liturgical desacralization.
