Things to Do in Burgos

Burgos is an important step on the Pilgrim’s Way of Saint James, famed for the many historic and religious buildings it hosts. The historical importance of the city where Spanish hero El Cid was born can be seen throughout the landmarks that dot its Old Town. With a splendid Gothic-style cathedral and a castle that overlooks the city, the whole place has a pleasant timeless atmosphere.

Besides the many landmarks, you’ll find everything that makes Spain so attractive in Burgos: good local food and wines and a laid-back ambience, especially during the sacred siesta between 2pm and 5pm.
