Was wondering where the monastery is located in which they stay. It is the one that they are all sleeping around the courtyard fountain and basically outdoors. Any help?

I asked this same question on a Camino forum and on the DVD commentary, it says that the scene was created in a monastery in Irache, and it's not a real place where you can stay on the Camino. Sad, because it looked like an amazing place to spend the night!

Ta. I have been back now for a month. That was one place I really wanted to stay. Oh well. I did get to see many things from the film though and what a journey it was.
Thanks for the help.
