Burgos is a beautiful city situated in an important and strategic place on the Camino de Santiago - the “way” of St. James. It is known for its beautiful UNESCO listed Gothic Cathedral and the birthplace of the mystical hero El Cid and has served as the capital of the unified kingdom of Castile and Leon for five centuries. We had the opportunity to visit both the old and new Cathedrals here and stayed overnight on our journey to Lourdes. Our visit to both Cathedrals was no less than amazing and we stood in awe of the amazing stonework and the mastery of building these two edifices - one from the 12th century and the other from the 15th.
