Description

WITH INDIVIDUAL WIRELESS EARPHONES TO NOT MISS A SINGLE DETAIL OF ALL THE GUIDE'S EXPLANATIONS!

Burgos is a key stop on the Camino de Santiago and a land of knights, kings, and merchants. Join this walking tour to learn about its history, understand its streets, and discover the details that usually don't appear in quick guides.

We start in front of the Arco de Santa María, the ancient medieval gate of the city, a large stone altarpiece where key figures from Burgos' past are represented.

From there, we will walk along the Paseo del Espolón until we reach the square where the statue of El Cid Campeador, Rodrigo Díaz de Vivar, stands, to review the real person behind the myth.

We will delve into the historic center to visit the Casa del Cordón, the palace where the Catholic Monarchs received Christopher Columbus after his second voyage to America.

We will continue to the Plaza Mayor with its classic red facades, and we will peek into nearby corners like the Plaza Menor, which retain the old Castilian air.

We will circle the Catedral, stopping at exterior details like the Chapel of the Constables and the famous Golden Staircase by Diego de Siloé, inspired by the Italian Renaissance.

We will end at the Plaza de Santa María, in front of the main facade of the Cathedral, to understand how this Gothic jewel was built and what secrets it holds.

And a few other corners with history...
