San Millán, Yuso and Suso Monasteries
San Millán de la Cogolla is a sparsely populated municipality in La Rioja, which is famous for its twin monasteries, Yuso and Suso.Suso is the older of the two monasteries, and it is the site where phrases in the Spanish and Basque languages were written for the first time - the codex in question was subsequently preserved in the monastery library at Yuso before being moved to its current location in Madrid.

Jose Gomes (Portugal):
The spanish language started in these monasteries. The most ancient document with some different words (not latin) are from here. Important cultural site for the spanish language/people. Interesting only and should be visited if you are nearby. Date posted: June 2005
