Our original plan had been to visit Valladolid, just a bit south of Burgos, but thanks to the inconvenient bus departures, we decided to forego Valladolid and visit Burgos instead. Was it a good decision? It certainly turned out to be. Burgos did not disappoint. Here is your Burgos guide and reasons to consider the city as part of your Spain travels.
