The City

Burgos is a city that is located in the north of Spain. It is the capital of the province of the same name, and it has about 173,000 inhabitants plus another 10,000 who are settled in the suburbs of the city. Burgos holds many amazing sites and buildings. An important example is the marvelous Cathedral called “Our Lady of Burgos,” which has been placed on the UNESCO World Heritage list in the year 1984. It is a gothic style Cathedral, that is of a mystical beauty. You should definitely pay a visit! Another remarkable building is Casa del Cordón, in which Christopher Columbus was welcomed after he returned from his second visit to America. Furthermore, Burgos is the Spanish city that probably possesses the most ecclesiastical monuments. It houses a lot of them, among which are the monastery of Miraflores, the monastery of Las Huelgas and the churches San Esteban, San Gil, San Cosme y San Damian, and San Lorenzo. “The Route of Light,” which is an evening train ride that takes tourists to all the marvelous sites, offers an excellent way of really appreciating and getting to know the city. For the ones who would like to travel back in time for just a short moment, the archeological site at Sierra de Atapuerca is recommendable. Here you can pay a visit to a prehistoric exhibit where primitive people’s daily life is reconstructed. Additionally, Burgos brought about the legendary Cid Campeador, the mythical knight of Spanish letters. Lastly, we want to recommend you some gastronomical treats of Burgos, like the famous Burgos dish of rice, roast lamb and morcilla. Or the “olla podrida,” the “queso de Burgos” and the “estrellados burgaleses.” Furthermore, you should not forget to try the wine from Aranda de Duero, the place where many famous wines are produced. Altogether Burgos offers a lot of cultural treats!
