Burgos - Head of Castile

Burgos is the ancient capital of Castile, and now the capital of the province of the same name. Now it is a charming medieval city, which is famous for its ancient Gothic cathedral of the XIII century, one of the outstanding examples of Spanish medieval architecture, protected by UNESCO. Burgos lies on the pilgrimage path of St. James, who left his imprint in monuments of different eras: inns, hospitals for pilgrims, churches and chapels. The old quarter of Burgos is the focus of medieval buildings, in excellent preservation and keeping amazing legends of the past.

You will find an unforgettable walk around the city with a tour of the main attractions of the former capital of the kingdom of Castile, such as the Cathedral of Burgos - a masterpiece of Gothic architecture, in the bowels of which lies the legendary Sid Campeador, the national hero of Spain and the invariable protagonist of the folk Spanish epics. We will see the palace where Columbus reported to the Catholic kings about his expedition to America, pass through the Arch of Santa Maria - the former city gate in the city wall, inside which an unexpected museum lurked, walk along the Espolon Boulevard, stretching along the picturesque Arlanzon River, with a musical arbor and terraces of summer cafes.

We will climb with you to the ruins of the castle of Burgos, from the observation deck which offers magnificent views of the city.

At the end of the tour, we invite you to dine in the traditional restaurant of Burgos, located in an ancient building of the 15th century, which served as the first printing workshop of the city. Enjoy traditional Castilian cuisine for good reason in 2013. Burgos was the "Gastronomic Capital of Spain".
