2018 Sep 11, Day 11 -- After a visit to Puente la Reina and Logrono, we finally arrived at Burgos, a city of Spain located in the autonomous community of Castile and León. Burgos is a very popular pilgrim route to Camino de Santiago. September weather is a warm-summer Mediterranean climate, perfect for trekking and holiday. Burgos is rich in ancient churches and convents, and most notable church of all is Burgos Cathedral, a Gothic church declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Here, El Cid, (the famous knight from Medieval Spain's history) and his wife Dona Jimena were buried. Be there in time for sunset when the church bell rings and the automaton clock, Papamoscas (Flycathcer) opens his mouth to tell the time. Just like any old town in Spain, walking around Burgos' old town in the tradition of Spanish ambience is a lot of fun. Sampling Burgos' pinchos and wine may want you to feel like staying here forever. Next stop is Sahagun.
