    Burgos is an unknown city to most tourists but is gaining fame in the undeniably fascinating monuments it holds.

    Situated in the Camino de Santiago pilgrim way to Saint James, the former Capital of the kingdom of Castilla-Leon owes its historic importance and power to the wool trade of Castilla, referred to as the well known "Merino" wool.  Of French influence, its Cathedral is probably one of the most impressive Gothic Cathedrals in Spain and one of the most beautiful in Europe.

    Walking along the beautiful river is another treat while visiting Burgos. Some of its other treasures not to be missed include the beautiful del Cordón (where the Catholic Monarchs received Colombus at his return from the second trip), the Monastery of Miraflores as well as the Museum of Evolution, recognized worldwide for the remains of one of the most important archeological excavations in understanding the evolution of man.

    Finally its roasted suckling lamb, famous all over Spain for its delicate meat and tenderness as well as the distinct blood sausage with clove and rice from Burgos and its Ribera de Duero wines are just another reason to make a stop in this provincial wonderful town. 

    This medieval town will not disappoint you for sure.
