Monestir dels Pares Carmelites del Desert de les Palmes
Monestir dels Pares Carmelites del Desert de les Palmes, Carmelite monastery ruins in Benicàssim, Spain.
The Desert of Las Palmas monastery complex includes both the preserved ruins of the original structure and a new monastery built in a safer location.
The first monastery, established in 1697, was destroyed by an earthquake in 1783, leading to the construction of a new building completed in 1796.
The monastery serves as a spiritual center where Carmelite friars maintain their traditions of prayer and contemplation while offering guidance to visitors.
Visitors can reach the monastery through a mountain road from Benicàssim town center, with tourist information available at 964 300 102.
The monastery produces a traditional herbal liqueur made from local aromatic plants, a practice that started in the 19th century to support the community.
