Burgos

Travelling a couple of hours west on the train, we reached our next destination and home of morcilla, Burgos. A buzzing little place that is the current gastronomic capital of Spain. Its definitely worth a day visit.



Situated North of Madrid and is underrated in our opinion.

It's a very historic city and home to the first Europeans, which lived in the area 800,000 years ago.


Gothic Cathedral.

The whole complex is a UNESCO world heritage site.

The walk up to Castillo de Burgos. Well out of breath...

...but was worth it for the view.



Monument to El Cid.

So Cid statue in the city centre.

Hmm... looks a bit like Blighty, doesn't it?
