Viveiro, Galicia, Spain
Monasterio de Nuestra Señora de Valdeflores
A Dominican nunnery on the edge of Viveiro on the north Galician coast, founded in the 15th century, with a Gothic church of that date and convent buildings of the late 17th century. It was declared a National Monument in 1980; the last nuns left in 2018.
The walled complex is for sale: 3,782 square meters of buildings with 40 rooms on an 18,723 square meter plot, described by the agent as in good general condition. Without a buyer who values it as a monastery it is being marketed for hotel, residential or events use.
Before you act. The listing does not name the seller or say whether the church is included. The description of its condition is the agent's own. Any new use needs heritage consent.

Casbas de Huesca, Spain
The whole complex, about 10,000 square meters on a three-hectare plot, is on the market with planning approval for a hotel of about 40 rooms. The owners, six partners who bought it in 2021 from the liquidation of a foundation, could not agree on the project; a buyer could instead keep it as a sacred or cultural place.
Valladolid, Spain
About 200 timber ceiling beams in the first floor of the cloister are failing from age, damp and wood-boring insects; many must be replaced and the rest treated. The 'Apadrina una viga' (sponsor a beam) appeal prices each beam at 300 euros.
