1989. On the first day of regular broadcasting on Canal Sur TV, the first episode of the series "Andalusian Convents" aired. The footage, recorded in 1988, offers a glimpse into the daily life of the nuns that year: praying in the choir, embroidering on treadle sewing machines, hanging laundry, ironing, watering the cloister plants, caring for their animals (birds and fish), ringing the bell, reading in the cloister, gardening, cooking... One of their most cherished contributions to Seville society, and a source of income for the community, is the making of traditional sweets and desserts that hark back to the flavors of the 15th and 16th centuries. Santa Inés buns are among the most popular items in the rich culinary repertoire of these Poor Clare nuns. [Program "Andalusian Convents", 001, February 28, 1989].
