BURGOS



Catedral de Burgos, a stop on the Camino de Santiago and a reason  Burgos is a UNESCO World Heritage Site

Ceiling of the sacristy in Roccoco style. Our guide was fun and made sure we learned plenty of new Spanish vocab words

Maqueta, model, of the Catedral. It's a seemingly endless place.
Abuelitos!



Statues.

Kelsey and I decided the orange roofs make Burgos look "Spanish".

We decided to visit the castle and well, unbeknownst to us the tour included going into the tunnels surrounding the well where there were boobie traps over 700 years ago.

La Catedral de nuevo, con mejor tiempo, better weather

El Cid Campeador. We read his tale (in English don't be impressed) last year in a Spanish lit class. He is buried inside the cathedral.
