Capital of Castilla and Léon, a region of the Spanish hinterland where fields of wheat and sunflowers cover green hills and plains, Burgos is a city that combines medieval splendour, rural landscapes and typical Spanish joviality. Its tourist fame is linked to its magnificent Cathedral, one of the most beautiful churches in all of Spain and one of the most representative examples of Spanish Gothic architecture, and its strategic location along the Pilgrim’s Way to Santiago which makes it one of the possible starting points for those who don’t want or can’t make all 800 and more kilometres of the historic pilgrimage. Without leaving the city you can take fascinating walks in search of the masterpieces of Spanish Gothic and other splendid palaces, churches and monuments that tell the long history of the city or relaxing walks along the river. Add to this a local cuisine full of delicious traditional specialties and excellent wines produced in the area, an original museum with ancient artifacts found in a nearby paleontological site and the echo of the heroic deeds of the Cid Campeador and you will wonder why Burgos is not on the top list of the most visited city in Spain. – https://www.spagna.info/spagna-centrale/burgos/
