Echoes of medieval knights, Spanish royalty, and countless pilgrims reverberate across Burgos, where three UNESCO World Heritage sites converge. On this walking tour, you’ll find out how this Castilian stronghold shaped Spanish history while serving as a crucial stop on the Camino pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela.
The tour starts at the stone Arch of Santa María, one of only two surviving medieval gates. You’ll discover why blood sausage defines local cuisine, how a constable’s widow became one of Europe’s most powerful women, and why Franco chose this city to declare the Spanish Civil War’s end. The tour ends back at the magnificent Gothic Burgos Cathedral, the city’s towering temple that took centuries to complete.
On this 90-minute walking tour, you’ll stroll where Spanish wool became Flemish tapestries, where royal marriages shaped European politics, and where pilgrims still pause on their ancient journey to the world’s end.
